Catalytic ActivityD-ribulose 5-phosphate = D-xylulose 5- phosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}.
CofactorName=Fe(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29033; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}; Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}; Name=Co(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:48828; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}; Note=Binds 1 divalent metal cation per subunit. Active with Fe(2+), and probably also with Mn(2+), Zn(2+) and Co(2+). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965};
FunctionCatalyzes the reversible epimerization of D-ribulose 5- phosphate to D-xylulose 5-phosphate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20923965}.
