Nucleoside ribosyltransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a nucleoside ribosyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-ribosyl-base₁ + base₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ D-ribosyl-base₂ + base₁

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-ribosyl-base₁ and base₂, whereas its two products are D-ribosyl-base₂ and base₁.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is nucleoside:purine(pyrimidine) D-ribosyltransferase. This enzyme is also called nucleoside N-ribosyltransferase.
