In enzymology a ribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L(or D)-ribulose ADP + L(or D)-ribulose 5-phosphateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-ribulose and D-ribulose whereas its 3 products are ADP L-ribulose 5-phosphate and D-ribulose 5-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing groups (phosphotransferases) with an alcohol group as acceptor.
