Haworth-type reaction

No. The reaction catalyzed by phosphoglucose isomerase is a simple isomerization between an aldose and a ketose and involves the open-chain structures of both sugars. Since glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate are both reducing sugars, their Haworth ring structures are in equilibrium with their open-chain forms. This equilibration is very rapid and does not require an additional enzyme. Note that this isomerization reaction is of the same type as that catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase. [Pg.274]
