In enzymology a ribose isomerase (EC 5.3.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionD-ribose D-ribuloseHence this enzyme has one substrate D-ribose and one product D-ribulose.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-ribose aldose-ketose-isomerase. Other names in common use include D-ribose isomerase and D-ribose ketol-isomerase.
