1. So, catalysts work by lowering the activation energy barrier for both the forward and the reverse reaction.

2. Usually, this state results when the forward reaction proceeds at the same rate as the reverse reaction.

3. Ligand exchange of thiolates-for-Acetylides on these clusters as well as the reverse reaction are so-far unkn

4. Aldol: formation of an Aldol (a β-hydroxy carbonyl compound) from two carbonyl compounds; the reverse reaction is an Aldol cleavage; fructose 1,6-bisphosphate Aldolase catalyzes such a reaction.

5. The Aldol reaction occurs with ketones as well, however, unlike the aldehydes, the equilibrium here does not favor the Aldol product: Although there are special distillation techniques to increase the yield of Aldol product of a ketone, the reverse reaction of converting the Aldol …
