Figure 2

Model of the active site of a representative de novo designed retroaldolase [50], with a generalized version of the aldol reaction pathway using a lysine nucleophile and acid-base catalysis shown in the inset. Note that the figure depicts the enzyme in complex with the native substrate, and not with the transition state, and therefore the contacts are not truly idealized.
