EC 2.4.2.1     
Accepted name: purine-nucleoside phosphorylase
Reaction: (1) purine ribonucleoside + phosphate = purine + α-D-ribose 1-phosphate
(2) purine 2′-deoxyribonucleoside + phosphate = purine + 2-deoxy-α-D-ribose 1-phosphate
Other name(s): inosine phosphorylase; PNPase (ambiguous); PUNPI; PUNPII; inosine-guanosine phosphorylase; purine deoxynucleoside phosphorylase; purine deoxyribonucleoside phosphorylase; purine nucleoside phosphorylase; purine ribonucleoside phosphorylase
Systematic name: purine-nucleoside:phosphate ribosyltransferase
Comments: Specificity not completely determined. Can also catalyse ribosyltransferase reactions of the type catalysed by EC 2.4.2.5, nucleoside ribosyltransferase.
