L-galactose-1,5-lactone鈫扡-ascorbic acid
Match each of the following enzymes to one of the pathway steps
- Galactose dehydrogenase
- GDP-mannose-3,5-epimerase
- Phosphoglucose isomerase
- Phosphomannoseisomerase
- Phosphomannose mutase
Short Answer
In solution (a), the enzyme galactose is used in Reaction 8.
In solution (b), the enzyme GDP-D-mannose-3,5-epimerase is used in Reaction 5.
In solution (c), the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase is used in Reaction 1.
In solution (d), the enzyme phosphomannose isomerase is used in Reaction 2.
In solution (e), the enzyme phosphomannose mutase is used in Reaction 3.
