As by the name the reaction they catalyse is to change the chemical compound in its isomeric form or we can use isomerase enzymes in transfer of groups within the molecules to yield isomeric frorms.
e.g
the enzyme phosphohexose isomerase catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose6-phosphate, an aldose to fructose 6-phosphate, a ketone
It converts sugar syrup into fructose syrup.
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
mICRO TERIA fIZZ
Isomerase breaks down glucose into fructose
The topoisomerase enzyme uncoils the double helical structure of DNA during its replication to form the replication fork. In eukaryotes both posive and negative supercoils get unbind by topoisomerase I & II respectively.Topoisomerase isomerase unwinds DNA to form replication fork
In the major pathway of ethanol metabolism the 2 enzymes involved are alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and thiokinase. ethanol + NAD+ <=> acetaldehyde + NADH + H+ (ethanol dehydrogenase) acetaldehyde + NAD+ <=> acetate + NADH + H+ (aldehyde dehydrogenase) acetate + coA + ATP <=> acetyl coA + AMP + PPi (thiokinase)
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
Glucose is converted to fructose by the glucose isomerase enzyme
Isomerase

Only one pyruvate molecule will be formed per molecule of glucose
Isomerase breaks down glucose into fructose
to isomer foods, isomerase can produce cat food and dog biscuits
Carbohydrase is the general term for an enzyme that breaks down different types of carbohydrates. Amylase is one that converts starch into glucose. Isomerase can convert glucose into fructose. Fructose has a sweeter taste than glucose and therefore does not need to be used as much. This means that fructose can be used in 'diet' foods as the food will contain less calories.
Isomerase is consider as a major class of enzymes that catalyze the isomerization process. It can be found in where a bonds are broken and formed.
