Get started for freeUDP- galactose- 4- epimerase converts UDP- galactose to UDP- glucose. The reaction requires NAD+ as a coenzyme.
a. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
b. Why is the enzyme called an epimerase?
UDP-galactose UDP- glucose
In some brain cancer cells, a mutated form of isocitrate dehydrogenase, instead of catalyzing the oxidation of the secondary alcohol of isocitrate, catalyzes the reduction of \({\bf{\alpha }}\)-ketoglutarate. Draw the product of the reaction.
