Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An isomerase enzyme is involved in the conversion of an aldosugar to a ketosugar via an isomerization reaction. Isomerases catalyze the rearrangement of atoms within a molecule, leading to the formation of an isomer with the same molecular formula but a different structural arrangement. In this case, the isomerase converts an aldose (a sugar containing an aldehyde functional group) to a ketose (a sugar containing a ketone functional group).
