Abstract

D-Fructose 1,6-bis(phosphate) aldolase from rabbit muscle (RAMA, E.C. 4. 1.2. 13) catalyzes the aldol condensation between dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and various aldehydes; the products are ketosugars with 3(S),4(R) stereochemistry. When racemic α-hydroxy aldehydes are condensed with DHAP, two diastereomeric products are formed. Tits paper demonstrates that RAMA can kinetically resolve α-hydroxy aldehydes with a negative charge removed four or five atoms from the aldehydic center
