Isomerases are a general class of enzymes which convert a molecule from one isomer to another. Isomerases can either facilitate intramolecular rearrangements in which bonds are broken and formed or they can catalyze conformational changes. The general form of such a reaction is as follows: A–B → B–A There is only one substrate yielding one p... Found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomerase
