(a) The first part of the reaction is the formation of a protonated Schiff base of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with a lysine residue in the enzyme followed by a retro-aldol cleavage to give an enamine plus erythrose 4-phosphate. Show the structure of the enamine and the mechanism by which it is formed. (b) The second part of the reaction is a nucleophilic addition of the enamine to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate followed by hydrolysis of the Schiff base to give fructose 6-phosphate.

Liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) catalyzes a reversible, pH-dependent oxidation of an alcohol to an aldehyde according to the following reaction: LADH RCH2OH + NAD* RCHO + NADH + H* where NAD* and NADH are, respectively, the oxidized and reduced forms of the cofactor nicotin-amide adenine dinucleotide. While the reaction is actually a two-substrate reaction, it proceeds like a one- substrate reaction through a so-called compulsory-ordered ternary complex mechanism. It has been shown through kinetic studies that, in the case of primary alcohols, the enzyme binds first the cofactor forming a binary enzyme-NAD* complex that then binds the second substrate, the alcohol, to form a ternary enzyme-NAD*-substrate complex in which the oxidation of the alcohol proceeds with reduction of the cofactor. While the enzyme catalyzes oxidation of various steroids as well as ingested ethanol, it also catalyzes the oxidation of methanol CH3OH, forming the extremely toxic product formaldehyde HCHO.…arrow_forward
- The rate-limiting step is a metabolic pathway is the slowest step which determines the overall rate of the other reactions in the pathway. In glycolysis, the rate limiting step is a phosphorylation reaction where phosphofructokinase (PFK-1) catalyzes the reaction fructose-6-bisphosphate -> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the same step in gluconeogenesis.
