Chapter 23.3, Problem 9P
Acetolactate synthase is another TPP-requiring enzyme. It transfers the acyl group to another molecule of pyruvate, forming acetolactate. This is the first step in the biosynthesis of the amino acids valine and leucine. Propose a mechanism for this reaction.

Show chemical structures for treatment and their mechanism of action for a defective enzyme: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
32. Although most enzymes are quite specific, they can catalyze
side reactions with compounds that are structurally similar to
their physiological substrates, but usually at much slower rates.
For example, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
(GAPDH), which normally catalyzes the oxidative
phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, can slowly
convert erythrose-4-phosphate, an intermediate in the pentose
phosphate pathway, to 1,4-bisphosphoerythronate:
