In enzymology, a β-phosphoglucomutase (EC 5.4.2.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, β-D-glucose 1-phosphate, and one product, β-D-glucose 6-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically the phosphotransferases (phosphomutases), which transfer phosphate groups within a molecule.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is beta-D-glucose 1,6-phosphomutase.
This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
Most of these structures detail metal fluoride analogue complexes which are used to mimic different states along the reaction coordinate.
