The numbering of the carbon atoms indicates the fate of the carbons according to their position in fructose 6-phosphate.

Mechanism[]

In mammalian aldolase the key catylitic amino acid residues involved in the reaction are lysine and tyrosine. The tyrosine acts as an efficient hydrogen acceptor while the lysine covalently binds and stabilizes the intermediates. Many bacteria use two magnesium ions in place of the lysine.
