This enzyme does have two roles, both as a glucose isomerease, but also a phosphoglucose/ glucose phosphate isomerase. I feel that the most commonly used and more important role in biochemistry is as the phosphoglucose/ glucose phosphate isomerase, so would be a more appropriate title for the article.

[edit] diagram placement issue

Early in this article, a diagram showing the conversion of glucose to fructose overwrites text to its right. It is a rather wide diagrama dn might be well if changed to a vertical format, or alternatively moved far enough down to prevent the interference. Nice diagram, though.

Can someone related to this diagram make the shanges? ww 22:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Optimum pH

Anybody know the optimum pH of this enzyme or at least which range it is in. (acidic or alkaline)

[edit] Where is this enzyme used???

Does anybody know any industrial applications of this enzyme?? Any ideas would be appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.23.1 (talk) 18:02, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
