Enzyme Classes. Properties and Technological Significance

Isomerases. Enzymes catalyzing reactions of conversion of a substrate into an isomer, this is, a substance with the same number and types of atoms. There are six subgroups of isomerases depending on the type of isomer produced race-mases and epimerases cA trans -isomerases, intramolecular oxidoreductases. 

A detailed presentation of enzyme nomenclature and classification can be obtained from the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the website http //www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iubmb/ enzyme/.
