1. (6 points) A novel variation of glycolysis uses mannoheptulose (a 7-carbon monosaccharide). a. It has been suggested that there must be a 1,7-bisphosphomannoheptulose aldolase within the pathway. Using the provided structure and active site residues, propose a mechanism (arrow- push) using what you know about the "normal" aldolase reaction. BOX the final products. Lys Asp -NH₂ CH₂OPO₂¹² C=O H-C-OH HO-C-H HO C-H H-C-OH CH₂OPO-² b. If the above reaction is correct and does take place, what problem will arise in the energy recovery stage of glycolysis? (Hint: examine the boxed products).
