Application
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.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphoriboisomerase is responsible for the converstion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose 5-phosphate.
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-ribose 5-phosphate to D-ribulose 5-phosphate per min at pH 7.7 at 30 °C.

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This family of enzymes naturally occurs in two distinct classes, RpiA and RpiB, which play an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway and nucleotide and co-factor

Ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (RPI) deficiency is an enzymopathy of the pentose phosphate pathway. It manifests with progressive leukoencephalopathy and peripheral neuropathy and belongs, with one sole diagnosed case, to the rarest human disorders. The single patient was found compound heterozygous

This paper describes optimization of electrotransformation of Mu transposition complexes into Lactococcus lactis cells and identification of genes affecting nisin production. The highest transformation efficiency, 1.1 x 10(2) transformants microg(-1) of input transposon DNA, was achieved when cells were grown

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase is a ubiquitous intracellular enzyme of bacterial, plant and animal origin that is involved in the pentose phosphate cycle, an essential component of cellular carbohydrate metabolism. Specifically, the enzyme catalyses the reversible conversion of ribose 5-phosphate to ribulose

The activity of ribose-5-phosphate isomerases (RpiB) from Clostridium difficile for D-ribose isomerization was optimal at pH 7.5 and 40 degrees C, while that from Thermotoga maritima for L-talose isomerization was optimal at pH 8.0 and 70 degrees C. C. difficile
