4.1.2.51 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate - Picrophilus torridus pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde - ? 380992 4.1.2.51 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate the enzyme shows substrate promiscuity, as measured in the direction of aldol synthesis. The enzyme catalyzes the formation of both 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and its C-4 epimer 2-keto-3-deoxygalactonate from D- or L-glyceraldehyde and pyruvate at a similar ratio, indicating lack of stereospecific control in formation and cleavage of 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate Picrophilus torridus pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde - r 380992 4.1.2.51 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate the enzyme from the archaeon Picrophilus torridus is involved in D-glucose and D-galactose catabolism via the nonphosphorylative variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway Picrophilus torridus pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde - ? 380993 4.1.2.51 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate highly specific for 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate with up to 2000fold-higher catalytic efficiency compared to 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate Picrophilus torridus pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde - ? 380993 4.1.2.51 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate 6-phosphate highly specific for 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate with up to 2000fold-higher catalytic efficiency compared to 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate Picrophilus torridus pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate - ? 1658
