Textbook Question
Chapter 23, Problem 37P
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.

To solve this problem, you need to read the description of the Hammett s, r treatment given in Chapter 15, Problem 92. When the rate constants for the hydrolysis of several morpholine enamines of para-substituted propiophenones are determined at pH 4.7, the r value is positive; however, when the rates of hydrolysis are determined at pH 10.4, the r value is negative.a. What is the rate-determining step of the hydrolysis reaction when it is carried out in a basic solution?b. What is the rate-determining step of the hydrolysis reaction when it is carried out in an acidic solution?

- Imidazoleglycerol‑phosphate dehydratase is an enzyme in the histine biosynthesis pathway. It catalyzes the E1 dehydration of D‑erthyro‑imidazole‑glycerol phosphate to imidazole acetol‑phosphate. This is a rare example of a biological E1 reaction, as most biological elimination reactions occur through E1cB instead. In this reaction, D‑erthyro‑imidazole‑glycerol phosphate is first protonated to form a good leaving group. Then, the leaving group is ejected to form the resonance‑stabilized carbocation shown. Draw curved arrows forming the most stable resonance structure to explain why this reaction goes through an E1 mechanism.
