Enzyme Information
| 5.3.1.5 | Xylose isomerase. based on mapping to UniProt P15587 D-xylopyranose = D-xylulose. -!- The enzyme catalyzes the interconversion of aldose and ketose sugars with broad substrate specificity. -!- The enzyme binds the closed form of its sugar substrate (in the case of glucose, only the alpha anomer) and catalyzes ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that is coordinated to one of the metal sites. -!- Isomerization proceeds via a hydride-shift mechanism. |
