Describe the two phases of the the HMP shunt. Enumerate the reactions in each phase and the corresponding enzyme of each reation. Explain how the HMP shunt is regulated?
There is another class of aldolase enzymes known as Class II. These enzymes are found in fungi, algae, and some bacteria. This class differs for Class I in that these enzymes do not have a Lys residue associated with their active sites, but contain a divalent cation (usually Zn2+ or Fe2+) in the active site. Outline a possible mechanism for a Class II aldolase and explain the function of the metal ion in the reaction.
