In the first step of the aldolase reaction, an active site Lys229 residue, with its side chain amino group in the deprotonated state, acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl C2 carbon of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to form a Schiff base (boxed in the scheme). Since the pKa of the Lys side chain amino group in free solution is ~10.5, the pKa of Lys229 side chain must have been perturbed to a (higher lower) value for the enzyme to be active at neutral pH. the answer should include sufficient details, including the definition of pKa.
