PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a function activating device effective for refolding a protein, namely, activating a function of the protein, and to provide a method for using the same. SOLUTION: The molded material for refolding the protein comprises zeolite beta which activates the function/activity inherent in an inactive protein or a deactivated protein by being brought into contact with the proteins, wherein the inactive protein is produced by Escherichia coli, etc., a high-order structure of the inactive protein has not been formed yet, and the deactivated protein is changed in its three-dimensional structure due to a certain reason. The function activating method for the inactive protein uses the molded material. A production method for the activated protein utilizes the function activating method. The production method has high versatility and universality, and is easy, simple, and convenient, when compared with conventional methods. The new function activating device for the protein is given at a reduced cost and repeatedly usable. The function activating method uses the function activating device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
