More model informationTriosephosphate Isomerase is an essential enzyme as it is the catalyst of the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate in the metabolic pathway, glycolysis. Triosephosphate isomerase is a member of the alpha and beta class proteins and has a homodimeric structure, which means it has two identical subunits. Each subunit consists of 250 amino acids and has a molecular weight of around 27kD (Alvarez et al., 1998). Triosephosphate isomerase active site contains a glutamic acid reserve which acts as a base catalyst during the metabolic reaction.
