2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) of the DeoC family 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) of the DeoC family. DERA belongs to the class I aldolases and catalyzes a reversible aldol reaction between acetaldehyde and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to generate 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate. DERA is unique in catalyzing the aldol reaction between two aldehydes, and its broad substrate specificity confers considerable utility as a biocatalyst, offering an environmentally benign alternative to chiral transition metal catalysis of the asymmetric aldol reaction.
