Draw the products of the addition of -OH to the si face of crotonate at C3, followed by protonation at C2, also from the si face
The thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-dependent enzyme benzoylformate decarboxylase catalyzes the decarboxylation of benzoylformate to yield benzaldehyde. Propose a mechanism based on your knowledge of TPP-dependent mechanisms. You may begin the reaction with the ylid form of TPP and you only need to show the structure of the “business end” of TPP. Show all electron flow using the arrow convention.
Amino acids are metabolized by a transamination reaction in which the amino group of the amino acid changes places with the keto group of an a-keto acid; the
amino acid and a new a-keto acid. Draw the products of the transamination reaction between threonine and 2-oxopentanedioate.
• You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
• Use the charge tools to adjust the charges of the amine and carboxyl groups to the form in which they would be found at physiological pH.
• Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner.
•
Separate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu.

- One of the steps in the pentose phosphate pathway for glucose catabolism is the reaction of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate in the presence of a transaldolase to yield erythrose 4-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. (a) The first part of the reaction is the formation of a protonated Schiff base of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate with a lysine residue in the enzyme followed by a retro-aldol cleavage to give an enamine plus erythrose 4-phosphate. Show the structure of the enamine and the mechanism by which it is formed. (b) The second part of the reaction is a nucleophilic addition of the enamine to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate followed by hydrolysis of the Schiff base to give fructose 6-phosphate.

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. Draw curved arrows to form the most stable resonance structure.arrow_forward
