step 4
Reversible
Ribulose-5-phosphate ↔ ribose-5-phosphate
Converts Ribulose-5-phosphate into Ribose-5-phosphate
› Notes
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase reversibly converts the ketopentose to the aldopentose needed for phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate and nucleotide synthesis. No nucleotide cofactor is used.
