Can use L-erythrulose as donor and D-ribose-5-phosphate as acceptor substrates, forming glycolaldehyde and D-sedoheptulose-7-phosphate. For synthetic purposes, is able to use hydroxypyruvate (HPA) as donor substrate, making the reaction irreversible due to the release of carbon dioxide, and various aldehydes as acceptor substrates, which leads to the corresponding ketoses. Thus, using hydroxypyruvate as donor and three different aldehydes as acceptors, i.e. glycolaldehyde, D-glyceraldehyde and butyraldehyde, the enzyme stereoselectively forms the corresponding products L-erythrulose, D-xylulose and (3S)-1,3-dihydroxyhexan-2-one, respectively.[REFERENCE:2] See Also Transketolase 3D structures
