EC 5. Isomerases

EC 5.3 Intramolecular oxidoreductases

These enzymes bring about the oxidation of one part of a molecule with a corresponding reduction of another part. They include the enzymes interconverting, in the sugar series, aldoses and ketoses, and related compounds (sugar isomerases, EC 5.3.1), enzymes catalysing a keto-enol equilibrium (tautomerases, EC 5.3.2), enzymes shifting a carbon-carbon double bond from one position to another (EC 5.3.3), enzymes transposing S-S bonds (EC 5.3.4), and a group of miscellaneous enzymes (EC 5.3.99).
