Chapter 22, Problem 22-83(choose chapter or problem)
A reaction involved in the metabolism of sugars is the splitting of fructose-1,6-diphosphate to give glyceraldehyde3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. In the living system, this retro-aldol is catalyzed by an enzyme called aldolase; however, it can also be catalyzed by a mild base. Propose a mechanism for the base-catalyzed reaction.
