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.

Activated Lactococcus lactis beta-phosphoglucomutase (betaPGM) catalyzes the conversion of beta-d-glucose 1-phosphate (betaG1P) derived from maltose to beta-d-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). Activation requires Mg(2+) binding and phosphorylation of the active site residue Asp8. Initial velocity techniques were used to define the steady-state

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

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
