Reaction: α-D-ribose 1-phosphate = D-ribose 5-phosphate
Other name(s): phosphodeoxyribomutase; deoxyribose phosphomutase; deoxyribomutase; phosphoribomutase; α-D-glucose-1,6-bisphosphate:deoxy-D-ribose-1-phosphate phosphotransferase; D-ribose 1,5-phosphomutase
Systematic name: α-D-ribose 1,5-phosphomutase
Comments: Also converts 2-deoxy-α-D-ribose 1-phosphate into 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5-phosphate. α-D-Ribose 1,5-bisphosphate, 2-deoxy-α-D-ribose 1,5-bisphosphate, or α-D-glucose 1,6-bisphosphate can act as cofactor. Formerly EC 2.7.5.6.
