Structural Analysis of Xylose Isomerase from Streptomyces avermitilis
CrystalsXylose isomerase (XI, also known as glucose isomerase) is an oxidoreductase that interconverts aldoses and ketoses. XI catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-glucose and D-xylose into D-fructose and D-xylulose, respectively.
