In enzymology a ribokinase (EC 2.7.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + D-ribose ADP + D-ribose 5-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-ribose whereas its two products are ADP and D-ribose 5-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
