The conversion of glucose 6-P to fructose 6-P is an example of which of the following reactions___________?
Correct answer: A. Isomerisation
- A. Isomerisation
- B. Phosphate transfer
- C. Dehydration
- D. Aldol cleavage
Explanation
Glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate have the same molecular formula but differ in the position of the carbonyl group. Their interconversion is therefore an isomerisation reaction, catalysed by phosphoglucose isomerase.
