Abstract
Isomers are chemical compounds that have the same molecular formula but different space arrangements of atoms. Isomers are widely existed in nature, including lots of sugar, amino acids, and chiral drugs. The transformation between different isomers is called isomerization. The isomerization reaction in vivo was mainly catalyzed by isomerases. With the development of modern biotechnology, more and more isomerases have been investigated and used for different applications. Lots of chemicals can be produced through catalysis of isomerases, showing a powerful supplementary to the chemical industry. Based on our research, recent studies of isomerization reactions in biochemical field were reviewed.
