Consider the enzyme triosephosphate isomerase and the reaction that it catalyzes.
A. Name the substrate and product for this enzyme.
B. What other step of glycolysis uses essentially the same mechanism (but different substrate and product)?
C. We discussed the mechanism of this other step in class. Based on the similarity of the mechanisms of triosephosphate isomerase and the other step we discussed, draw the structure of a postulated intennediate between the substrate and product for the reaction catalyzed by triosephosphate isomerase.
