Abstract

Proteins in this superfamily contain a structural motif with a beta/alpha TIM barrel, such as xylose isomerase [ 1 ]. These proteins share similar, but not identical, metal-binding sites. In addition, xylose isomerase and L-rhamnose isomerase each have additional alpha-helical domains involved in tetramer formation.
