Chapter 6, Problem 35RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The three effects of the macromolecular crowding on the properties of the enzymes and the reaction catalyzed by them.
Introduction:
The macromolecular crowding can be defined as the phenomenon in which intracellular condition is highly crowded. The cell contains a large number of heterogeneous molecules like macromolecules, membranes, cytoskeleton, and other obstacles. They are responsible to impede the molecular movement in the cell.

For each pair of biomolecules, identify the type of reaction (oxidation‑reduction, hydrolysis, isomerization, group transfer, or internal rearrangement) required to convert the first molecule to the second. In each case, indicate the general type of enzyme and cofactor(s) or reactants required, and any other products that would result.
A(n) (hydrolysis, oxidation reduction, group transfer, isomerization, internal rearrangment) reaction converts glucose to fructose. This reaction is catalyzed by a(n) (dehydrogenase, isomerase, kinase, phosphatase).
