L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase: epimerisation through carbon-carbon bond cleavage
L-Ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase, a bacterial enzyme which catalyses the final step in L-arabinose metabolism, interconverts L-ribulose-5-phosphate and D-xylulose-5-phosphate independently of NAD+. The labile stereocentre does not bear an acidic proton; therefore, a simple deprotonation-reproto...
