CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily 3.40.50.10940
Functional Family L-arabinose isomerase

Enzyme Information

5.3.1.4
L-arabinose isomerase.
based on mapping to UniProt P08202
L-arabinose = L-ribulose.
-!- The enzyme binds the closed form of the sugar and catalyzes ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that facilitates the isomerization reaction, which proceeds via an ene- diol mechanism. -!- The enzyme can also convert D-galactose to D-tagatose with lower efficiency.
