Application

D-(+)-Glucose monohydrate has been used as a test compound for studying its dehydration kinetics by using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS).

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-(+)-Glucose is a common natural sugar involved in key cellular processes of energy production, glycosylation and formation of glycans that provide structure to cells. Glucose is involved in post-translational modifications of proteins by glycation or non-enzymatic glycosylation of proteins at the lysine residues. Glycation is detrimental and results in complications associated with diabetes mellitus, alzheimer′s disease, aging and cataract.

Plants synthesize numerous specialized metabolites (also termed natural products) to mediate dynamic interactions with their surroundings. The complexity of plant specialized metabolism is the result of an inherent biosynthetic plasticity rooted in the substrate and product promiscuity of the enzymes
