racemase and epimerase activity [GO_0016854]

Catalysis of a reaction that alters the configuration of one or more chiral centers in a molecule. Note that ’epimerase’ refers to the conversion of an epimer into its diastereoisomer, and ‘racemase’ refers to the interconversion of the two enantiomers of a chiral compound.
