Chapter 11, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of the glycosaminoglycan in the cartilage that provides cushioning.
Concept introduction:
Glycosaminoglycan is an important component of proteoglycans molecules. It allows the tissues to withstand the compressive forces and swelling pressure through hydration. It is the essential molecule in the body that connects the proteins to proteoglycans.

Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated.
Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition?
Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
