The reaction catalysed by RpiA. The open configuration of ribose 5-phosphate is required for isomerization and is reversibly converted to ribulose 5-phosphate. It is possible that the enzyme also operates on the closed form of the sugar, opening the ring prior to isomerization (Jung et al., 2000BB11).
