- Cellobiose epimerase
In
enzymology , a cellobiose epimerase (EC number|5.1.3.11) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :cellobiose ightleftharpoons D-glucosyl-D-mannose
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
cellobiose , and one product,D-glucosyl-D-mannose .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically thoseracemase s andepimerase s acting oncarbohydrate s and their derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cellobiose 2-epimerase.References
