Accepted name: |
sulfoquinovose mutarotase |
Reaction: |
6-sulfo-α-D-quinovose = 6-sulfo-β-D-quinovose |
Systematic name: |
6-sulfo-D-quinovose 1-epimerase |
Comments: |
The enzyme is found in bacteria that possess sulfoglycolytic pathways. The enzyme can also act on other aldohexoses such as D-galactose, D-glucose, D-glucose-6-phosphate, and D-glucuronate, but with lower efficiency. Does not act on D-mannose. |
