  2. Xylose isomerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylose_isomerase

    The isomerase has now been observed in nearly a hundred species of bacteria. [2] Xylose-isomerases are also commonly called glucose isomerase or fructose isomerases due to their ability to interconvert glucose and fructose. The systematic name of this enzyme class is α-D-xylopyranose aldose-ketose-isomerase. Other names in common use include D ...

  3. Isomerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerase

    Glucose isomerase (also known as xylose isomerase) catalyzes the conversion of D-xylose and D-glucose to D-xylulose and D-fructose. Like most sugar isomerases, glucose isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of aldoses and ketoses. [24] The conversion of glucose to fructose is a key component of high-fructose corn syrup production.

  4. Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose-6-phosphate_isomerase

    Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI), alternatively known as phosphoglucose isomerase/phosphoglucoisomerase (PGI) or phosphohexose isomerase (PHI), is an enzyme ( EC 5.3.1.9) that in humans is encoded by the GPI gene on chromosome 19. [4] This gene encodes a member of the glucose phosphate isomerase protein family.

  5. High-fructose corn syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup

    As in the production of conventional corn syrup, the starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes. To make HFCS, the corn syrup is further processed by D-xylose isomerase to convert some of its glucose into fructose. HFCS was first marketed in the early 1970s by the Clinton Corn Processing Company, together with the Japanese Agency of ...
