epimerase
epimerase (ˈɛpɪməˌreɪz) n (Chemistry) chem an enzyme that catalyses the interconversion of epimersTranslationsEpimerase
epimerase[ə′pim·ə‚rās] (biochemistry) A type of enzyme that catalyzes the rearrangement of hydroxyl groups on a substrate. Epimerase any enzyme of the isomerase class that catalyzes the inversion of L- and D-isomers with several centers of asymmetry. For example, aldose 1-epimerase (a mutarotase) catalyzes the conversion of of α-D-glucose into β-D-glucose. Epimerases are widely found in nature. (SeeRACEMASE.) epimerase
