Triose Phosphate Isomerase
'Triose Phosphate Isomerase
OverviewOverview
(TPI or TIM) which catalyzes the reversible interconversion of the triose phosphate isomers dihydroxyacetone phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, an essential process in the glycolytic pathway.
MechanismMechanism
TPI catalyzes the transfer of a hydrogen atom from carbon 1 to carbon 2, an intramolecular oxidation-reduction. This isomerization of a ketose to an aldose proceeds through an enediol intermediate.<Biochemistry 6th Edition>
