Class I and Class II Aldolases

[edit]

I'm looking at Voet and Voet's Biochemistry, 3rd Ed (page 589), and it says class I aldolases are in plants and animals and class II aldolases are in bacteria. (Some organisms have both.) Can someone confirm that this page is correct? --aciel (talk) 23:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aldol Condensation versus Aldol Reaction

[edit]

Aldolases technically catalyze reverse aldol reactions, not reverse aldol condensations; to be a reverse condensation, it would need to be a cleavage that involved the incorporation of a small molecule such as water (as in hydrolysis). BCurt (talk) 17:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
