Manganese

Manganese

An essential trace element. Present in cells as concentrations of _ 0.01&nbsp, mm. Activates a wide range of enzymes for example pyruvate carboxylase and one family of superoxide dismutases. Resembles magnesium and may replace it in many enzymes when it can modify substrate specificities. The addition of manganese salts to buffer solutions will often make cells very adhesive.

inactive enzyme after purification with Ni-TED

I found an abstract where they use Tris to inactivate a Mn-containing protein by removing the bound manganese. The wash and elution buffers you used to purify the protein probably contain Tris, although likely in lower concentrations - check the manual if possible. In this ...
