Ribose isomerase

Ribose isomerase

In enzymology, a ribose isomerase (EC number|5.3.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:D-ribose ightleftharpoons D-ribulose

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D-ribose, and one product, D-ribulose.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-ribose aldose-ketose-isomerase. Other names in common use include D-ribose isomerase, and D-ribose ketol-isomerase.
