This class of enzymes is responsible for catalyzing reactions, that result in the rearrangement of the molecular structures, within the reactants. This action results in the chemical conversion of a molecule into another related molecule, called an isomer of the original molecule - the process is called isomerization. The chemical conversion of a D-form of a sugar to an L-form of a sugar, would be a good example of an isomerization reaction, catalyzed by such enzymes.
