Properties
Description
Phosphomannose isomerase from Escherichia coli is applied for the mutual transformation of mannose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate.
Molecular Weight
43.9 kDa
Unit Definition
One unit of phosphomannose isomerase activity is defined as the amount of enzyme required to release one µmole of fructose 6-phosphate from mannose 6-phosphate (3.14 mM) per minute in the presence of NAD+ at pH 7.6 and 25°C.
Applications
Phosphomannose isomerase from Escherichia coli is applid to determine the content of D-mannose in carbohydrate research and in the food industriy.
