Application

D-Ribose 5-phosphate is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize ribose-5-phosphate isomerase(s) and phosphopentomutase(s). Ribose 5-phosphate is used to study the processes and effects of glycation in vivo and in vitro.

Nonphosphorylating glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (np-Ga3PDHase) is a cytosolic unconventional glycolytic enzyme of plant cells regulated by phosphorylation in heterotrophic tissues. After interaction with 14-3-3 proteins, the phosphorylated enzyme becomes less active and more sensitive to regulation by adenylates and inorganic pyrophosphate.

Most organisms synthesise the B(6) vitamer pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) via the glutamine amidotransferase PLP synthase, a large enzyme complex of 12 Pdx1 synthase subunits with up to 12 Pdx2 glutaminase subunits attached. Deletion analysis revealed that the C-terminus has four

Phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) synthetase catalyzes the transfer of the pyrophosphate group from ATP to ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) yielding PRPP and AMP. PRPP is an essential metabolite that plays a central role in cellular metabolism. The enzyme from a thermophilic archaeon Thermoplasma

The Michaelis constant values for substrates of transketolase from human tissues were determined over a wide range of substrate concentrations. It is shown that K(m) values determined by other authors are significantly overestimated and explained why this is so.
