In enzymology a diaminopimelate epimerase (EC 5.1.1.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionLL-26-diaminoheptanedioate meso-diaminoheptanedioateHence this enzyme has one substrate LL-26-diaminoheptanedioate and one product meso-diaminoheptanedioate.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on amino acids and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is LL-26-diaminoheptanedioate 2-epimerase.
