Application

β-Phosphoglucomutase is used to study starch and sucrose metabolism. It is used for the determination of α-amylase in clinical analysis. It is used to study galactose utilization and generalized glycogenosis (Pompe′s Disease).

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Phosphoglucomutase enzymatically converts β-D-glucose 1-phosphate to β-D-glucose 6-phosphate. It is involved in starch and sucrose metabolism.
Enzymatically converts β-D-glucose-1-phosphate to β-D-glucose-6-phosphate.

Unit Definition

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme which converts 1μmol of β-D-glucose-1-phosphate to β-D-glucose-6-phosphate per minute at 37°C and pH 7.0.

Other Notes

Contains EDTA and lactose.

Synthesis of the Streptococcus pneumoniae type 3 capsule requires the pathway glucose-6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) --> Glc-1-P --> UDP-Glc --> UDP-glucuronic acid (UDP-GlcUA) --> (GlcUA-Glc)(n). The UDP-Glc dehydrogenase and synthase necessary for the latter two steps, and essential for capsule production, are

Over the last 20 years cryocrystallography has revolutionized the field of macromolecular crystallography, greatly reducing radiation damage and allowing the collection of complete data sets at synchrotron sources. However, in order to cool crystals to 100 K cryoprotective agents must usually

Experimental observations of fluoromagnesate and fluoroaluminate complexes of β-phosphoglucomutase (β-PGM) have demonstrated the importance of charge balance in transition-state stabilization for phosphoryl transfer enzymes. Here, direct observations of ground-state analog complexes of β-PGM involving trifluoroberyllate establish that when the geometry
