In enzymology a S-methyl-5-thioribose-1-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionS-methyl-5-thio-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate S-methyl-5-thio-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate and one product S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses.
