DOES PHOSPHOGLUCOISOMERASE DISPLAY ANOMERIC SPECIFICITY OR SELECTIVITY TOWARDS ALPHA-D-GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE - AN ASSESSMENT BY 2-DIMENSIONALPHASE-SENSITIVE P-31 EXCHANGE SPECTROSCOPY (EXSY) NMR
F. Kayser et al., DOES PHOSPHOGLUCOISOMERASE DISPLAY ANOMERIC SPECIFICITY OR SELECTIVITY TOWARDS ALPHA-D-GLUCOSE 6-PHOSPHATE - AN ASSESSMENT BY 2-DIMENSIONALPHASE-SENSITIVE P-31 EXCHANGE SPECTROSCOPY (EXSY) NMR, Biochemical journal, 295, 1993, pp. 607-609
The study by two-dimensional phase-sensitive P-31 exchange spectroscop
y (EXSY) n.m.r. of hexose 6-phosphates interconversion in the reaction
catalysed by yeast phosphoglucoisomerase reveals that the enzyme disp
lays anomeric selectivity rather than specificity, towards alpha-D-glu
cose 6-phosphate. Indeed, beta-D-glucose 6-phosphate participates for
about 20% to the total and direct conversion of the aldohexose into ox
ohexose ester.
