Definition

Template:STRUCTURE 1iat Phosphoglucoisomerase (also known as phosphoglucose isomerase) are a group of enzymes of the isomerase family, that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to D-hexoses, such as D-glucose. The importance of these group of enzymes lies in the fact that
