ID   5.3.1.3
DE   D-arabinose isomerase.
AN   arabinose isomerase.
AN   L-fucose isomerase.
CA   D-arabinose = D-ribulose.
CC   -!- The enzyme binds the closed form of the sugar and catalyzes ring
CC       opening to generate a form of open-chain conformation that
CC       facilitates the isomerization reaction, which proceeds via an ene-
CC       diol mechanism.
CC   -!- The enzyme catalyzes the aldose-ketose isomerization of several
CC       sugars.
CC   -!- Most enzymes also catalyze the reaction of EC 5.3.1.25.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Falsibacillus pallidus also converts
CC       D-altrose to D-psicose. cf. EC 5.3.1.4.
