Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a ribose isomerase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- D-ribose 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.
