Question

If an enzyme has been given the EC code $\mathrm{5.2.1.7}$ , it is likely to be involved in

• A. Digestion
• B. Redox reaction
• C. Isomerization
• D. Molecular breakdown

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Isomerization

If an enzyme has been given the EC code 5.2.1.7 , it is likely to be involved in isomerization. The EC code 5.1 belongs to Epimerases and racemases. The EC code 5.2 belongs to Cis-trans isomerase. The EC code 5.3 belongs to Oxidoreductases. The EC code 5.4 belongs to Transferases. The EC code 5.5 belongs to Lyases. The EC code 5.2.1.7 belongs to retinol isomerase.

Thus, the correct answer is 'Isomerization.'
