The proton exchange of the pro-S hydrogen atom at C-1 in dihydroxyacetone phosphate and d-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate catalysed by class-I and class-II aldolases

摘要

pThe efficacy of class-I and class-II aldolases in catalysing the C-1 proton exchange in fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate was investigated. The rate of this reaction was at least two orders of magnitude slower in class-II than in the class-I aldolases. It is suggested that this difference reflects the formation of different intermediates in the reactions catalysed by the two classes of aldolase./p
