Carbohydrate epimerases catalyze the reversible interconversion of sugar (derivative) epimers in a stereoselective manner recognizing the C1-, C2-, C3-, C4-, C5-, or C6-position of the corresponding carbohydrate substrate. The biochemical characterization, catalytic mechanism, as well as structural analysis of various carbohydrate epimerases, of which more than 20 different types are known, are reported.[73,74] They are applied for the production of rare (mono- and oligo)saccharides used in the pharmaceutical, food, and agrochemical industries. Scheme 29 shows the structures of some of the sugar substrates and products mentioned in the following sections.
