Generating new carbon-carbon (C-C) bonds in an enantioselective way is one of the big challenges in organic synthesis. Aldolases are a natural tool for stereoselective C-C bond formation in a green and sustainable way. This review will focus on thermophilic aldolases in general and on dihydroxyacetone phosphate-dependent aldolases in particular. Biochemical properties and applications for synthesis of rare sugars and carbohydrates will be discussed.
