Used in biochemical research to study enzyme mechanisms and metabolic pathways involving phosphate group transfers. Commonly applied in laboratory settings for the analysis of sugar phosphate rearrangements, particularly in carbohydrate metabolism studies. Its high specific activity makes it suitable for use in enzymatic assays and diagnostic kits where precise catalytic activity is required. Also utilized in the development and optimization of industrial biocatalytic processes that require efficient intramolecular phosphate migration.
