Find PDB structures and Computed Structure Models (CSM) by combining queries from tools in this suite: Attribute Search, Sequence Similarity, Sequence Motif, 3D Similarity, and 3D Motif with 'AND' logic.
This family includes the following members: 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate aldolase (KHG-aldolase) Phospho-2-dehydro-3-deoxygluconate aldolase (KDPG-aldolase)
2-ket-3-deoxy-phosphogluconate (KDPG) aldolase is a Class I aldolase of the glycolytic pathway. It catalyses the reversible cleavage of KDPG into the three carbon units pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The enzymatic aldol reaction is highly efficient, regioselective and shows high facial stereoselectivity. The mechanism shown here is the formation KDGP from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
