Deficient activity of erythrocyte and leukocyte glucosephosphate isomerase was found in three siblings with hereditary hemolytic anemia who were unrelated to the single patient previously described.

This paper demonstrates a previously undescribed defect of a glycolytic enzyme, triosephosphate isomerase, in the erythrocytes and leukocytes of a patient with congenital hemolytic anemia. The carrier ...

Researchers studying how plants evolved the abilities to make natural chemicals, which they use to adapt to stress, have uncovered how an enzyme called chalcone isomerase evolved to enable plants to ...

Crystallographic studies of D-xylose isomerase (D-xylose ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) incubated to equilibrium with substrate/product mixtures of xylose and xylulose show electron density for a bound ...
