In enzymology a gluconokinase (EC 2.7.1.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + D-gluconate ADP + 6-phospho-D-gluconateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-gluconate whereas its two products are ADP and 6-phospho-D-gluconate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
