Recombinant ribokinase from *Escherichia coli* is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of ribose to ribose-5-phosphate, utilizing ATP as a phosphate donor. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the pentose phosphate pathway, which is essential for nucleotide synthesis and cellular metabolism. The recombinant form is produced through genetic engineering techniques, allowing for enhanced yield and purity compared to naturally occurring variants. Characteristically, ribokinase exhibits specificity for ribose and is dependent on divalent metal ions, typically magnesium or manganese, for its activity. The enzyme operates optimally within a specific pH range and temperature, which can vary based on the expression system used. Its structure typically includes a conserved nucleotide-binding domain, which is critical for its function. Due to its importance in metabolic pathways, recombinant ribokinase has potential applications in biotechnology and research, particularly in studies related to carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme kinetics.
