Application

Phosphoriboisomerase is used to study the ribulose monophosphate pathway. Phosphoriboisomerase from spinach is used in enzyme assays to convert ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphoriboisomerase is responsible for the converstion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-ribose 5-phosphate to D-ribulose 5-phosphate per min at pH 7.7 at 30 °C.

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This family of enzymes naturally occurs in two distinct classes, RpiA and RpiB, which play an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide and co-factor
