Mutases are enzymes that move a functional group within the same molecule to a different binding site. These are enzymes from the class of isomerases .
Examples of mutases
- The methylmalonyl-CoA mutase shifts a carboxy group to the adjacent carbon atom and thus converts L - methylmalonyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA .
- The 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate mutase converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate into 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate by attaching the phosphate group from the phosphonic anhydride bond of the carboxy group of carbon atom C1 as a phosphate ester to the hydroxyl group of carbon atom C2.
- The glucose phosphate mutase converts glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate into one another.
