Application
D-Ribulose-5-phosphate 3-Epimerase is an enzyme that converts the reversible conversion of D-ribulose 5-phosphate into D-xylulose 5-phosphate, which is important for the cellular response against oxidative stress . D-Ribulose-5-phosphate 3-Epimerase is involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions and carbon fixation. Product R3251 is from baker′s yeast and is provided as a lyophilized powder. It is useful in enzyme systems requiring low sulfate.
Biochem/physiol Actions
RPE is a metalloenzyme and has been shown to use the divalent Zn2+ ion predominantly for catalysis. Human D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase (hRPE) has been shown to use Fe2+ for catalysis .
Physical form
Lyophilized and essentially sulfate-free; contains approx. 35% citrate buffer salts
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1 μmole of D-ribulose 5-phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate per min at pH 7.7 at 25°C when coupled with transketolase, α-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase, and triosephosphate isomerase.

H(2)O(2) is commonly generated in biological habitats by environmental chemistry and by cellular immune responses. H(2)O(2) penetrates cells, disrupts metabolism, and blocks growth; it therefore is of interest to identify the major cellular molecules that H(2)O(2) damages and the strategies

Cytosolic D-ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase from rice was crystallized after EDTA treatment and structurally elucidated by X-ray diffraction to 1.9A resolution. A prominent Zn(2+) site at the active center was established in a soaking experiment. The structure was compared with that of

A series of expression vectors for gram-negative bacteria was constructed which combine broad-host-range, inducible expression from the tac promoter and diverse antibiotic resistance determinants. The tac promoter activity and the repression by lacIq can be quantitated with a separate test

Replication of the human genome requires the activation of thousands of replicons distributed along each one of the chromosomes. Each replicon contains an initiation, or origin, site, at which DNA synthesis begins. However, very little information is known about the

The pentose phosphate pathway has been studied in Trypanosoma cruzi, Clone CL Brener. Functioning of the pathway was demonstrated in epimastigotes by measuring the evolution of (14)CO(2) from [1-(14)C] or [6-(14)C]D-glucose. Glucose consumption through the PPP increased from 9.9% to
