Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. TIM reversibly converts the aldose Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GASP) to the ketose Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP). The interconversion proceeds by an enediol intermediate. | Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway.
