Ribose is transported into cells in its pyranose form and must be rearranged to its furanose form for further utilization. Ribose pyranase RbsD catalyzes the conversion of ribose from the pyranose to furanose form. This is the key step for substrate supply to ribokinase RbsK, which converts ribose to ribose-5-phosphate for further metabolism ...
