Chapter 22, Problem 36P
there are two kinds of aldolases. Class I aldolases are found in animals and plants, whereas class II aldolases are found in fungi, algae, and some bacteria. Only class I aldolases form an imine. Class II aldolases have a metal ion (Zn2+) at the active site. The mechanism for catalysis by class I aldolases was described in Section 22.13. Propose a mechanism for catalysis by class II aldolases.

Propose a mechanism for catalysis by class II aldolases.
A graduate student was studying enzymatic reductions of cyclohexanones when she encountered some interesting chemistry. When she used an enzyme and NADPH to reduce the following ketone, she was surprised to find that the product was optically active. She carefully repurified the product so that no enzyme, NADPH, or other contaminants were present. Still, the product was optically active. If this reaction could be accomplished using H2 and a nickel catalyst, would the product be optically active? Explain.
