Anomalous mutarotation of glucose 6-phosphate. An example of intramolecular catalysis

Abstract: have recently been defined [Salas et al. (1965); Bailey et al. (1968)]. Enzymes involved in the phosphorylation of glucose (hexokinase, glucokinase, and pyrophosphate phosphotransferase) display no preference for either the a or ß anomer of dglucose. The anomeric configuration of the G-6-P produced is thus the same as that of the glucose used as substrate. Similarly, it has been shown that the enzymes dephosphorylating glucose 6-phosphate produce free glucose which has the same anomeric composition as the subs… Show more

“…No //-glucose-6-phosphate was, however, found in the reaction mixture to which 200 pi of 4 mol/1 perchloric acid was added to stop the reaction. This result shows that a-D-glucose-6-phosphate formed in the reaction mixture was also estimated as ß-Z>-glucose-6-phosphate under our experimental con ditions because of rapid mutarotation between a-and ß-Z/-glucose-6-phosphate [17],…”

“…Because of the specificity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase for/3-G6P [ 1, 10-13 ] the spontaneous and enzyme catalysed formation of/3-G6P from c~-G6P can be tested in the following systems with G6PDH as indicator-enzyme [1,3,10,11,14]: The system is started by addition of freshly dissolved a-D-glucopyranose. As soon as the steady state is reached, after reaction time of 1 min [14], the reactions are quenched by addition of 0.…”

“…Phosphoglucomutases catalyze the interconversion of D-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P) 1 and D-glucose 6-phosphate (G6P). Operating in the forward G6P-forming direction, this reaction links polysaccharide phosphorolysis to glycolysis.…”
