Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. <scene name='Christian_Krenk_Sandbox/Nc_rainbow/1'>TIM</scene> 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)<ref>PMID:16511037</ref> (PDB [[1wyi]]) is a crucial enzyme in the glycolytic pathway. <scene name='Christian_Krenk_Sandbox/Nc_rainbow/1'>TIM</scene> reversibly converts the aldose Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GASP) to the ketose Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP).
