The enzyme aldolase, catalyzes a reversible aldol condensation, Fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is cleaved to yield two different triose phosphates, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, an aldose, and dihydroxyacetone phosphate, a ketose. There are two classes of aldolases such as;

A) Class I aldolases

B) Class II aldolases

i) Found in animals and plants

ii) Found in in fungi and bacteria

iii) formation of protonated Schiff base on enzyme and its active site contain lysine residue

iv) do not form the Schiff base intermediate and a zinc ion at the active site is coordinated with the carbonyl oxygen at C-2

In which of the following option is the given enzyme with its correct statements?
