Chemical Structure
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase
Synonym(s): Phosphoriboisomerase
- CAS No.: 9023-83-0
- Formula:N/A
- Molecular Weight:N/A
SMILES: [Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase]
Biological Activity: Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (Phosphoriboisomerase) exists widely in microorganisms, animals and plants. It is the first enzyme in the non-oxidative phase of the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and also a key enzyme in the Calvin cycle (photosynthetic carbon fixation). Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase catalyzes the reversible isomerization between D-ribulose-5-phosphate (Ru5P) and D-ribose-5-phosphate (R5P). Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase acts as a multifunctional biocatalyst for rare sugar production. Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase serves as a target for antitrypanosomal agents[1][2].
