Description
Phosphoriboisomerase is responsible for the converstion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.
Abbr
Phosphoriboisomerase, Native (Spinach)
Applications
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.
