- ADP-glyceromanno-heptose 6-epimerase
In
enzymology , an ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose 6-epimerase (EC number|5.1.3.20) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :ADP-D-glycero-D-manno-heptose ightleftharpoons ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
ADP-D-glycero-D-manno-heptose , and one product,ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically thoseracemase s andepimerase s acting oncarbohydrate s and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ADP-L-glycero-D-manno-heptose 6-epimerase. This enzyme participates inlipopolysaccharide biosynthesis . It employs one cofactor,NADP+ .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|1EQ2.
