Mechanistic aspects of carbohydrate epimerization
Epimerases are enzymes that invert the stereochemistry at a stereogenic center in a molecule with two or more chiral centers. Most known sugar epimerases catalyze this reaction by simple deprotonation/reprotonation or by oxidation/reduction mechanism. Only two carbohydrate epimerases are known tha...
