Question inactive enzyme after purification with Ni-TED

Hi everybody

I expressed a 54 kDa protein in E.coli. Before the purification with Ni-TED the enzyme is active. After the purification there is no activity left. What can be the reason? It is a metalloenzyme and needs Mn 2+ for its activity. Could it be that the imidazole in the buffers while purification is the reason? How can I then reactivate the enzyme? Or do the Mn Ions bind to the column while purification? Or what else could be the problem?
