Description
Requires a divalent metal ion (the enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli prefers Mn2+). The enzyme binds the closed form of the sugar and catalyses ring opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that facilitates the isomerization reaction, which proceeds via an ene-diol mechanism. The enzyme can also convert D-galactose to D-tagatose with lower efficiency.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

Synonyms
L-arabinose ketol-isomerase; araA (gene name)
