According to the EC BLASTer, our organism does not contain enzymes 2.7.7.34 or 2.4.1.29. I think it would be interesting to either directly test for these two enzymes, or give the organism Alpha-D-Glucose 1P and see if it can produce Beta-D-Glucose. If the organism doesn’t have these two enzymes, that would also be very interesting, because it would suggest that it has a different way of forming glucose. I also think it would be interesting to directly test for enzymes 2.7.7.9 and 2.4.1.12, because all three databases did not call these enzymes, but it looks like there could be sequences associated with these enzymes in our organism’s genome. | According to the EC BLASTer, our organism does not contain enzymes 2.7.7.34 or 2.4.1.29.
