The last step of the biosynthesis of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in plants and animals is catalyzed by L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidoreductases, which use both L-gulono-1,4-lactone and L-galactono-1,4-lactone as substrates. L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase is missing in scurvy-prone, vitamin C-deficient animals, such as humans

The reviewed studies addressed the possibility of using gene transfer for correction of L-ascorbic acid biosynthesis and carbohydrate utilization in rainbow trout. Analyses of enzymatic activities in the L-AAB pathway indicated that reasons for the lack of L-AA production can

The relationship between glutathione deficiency, glycogen metabolism and ascorbate synthesis was investigated in isolated murine hepatocytes. Glutathione deficiency caused by various agents increased ascorbate synthesis with a stimulation of glycogen breakdown. Increased ascorbate synthesis from UDP-glucose or gulonolactone could not

[reaction: see text] A new synthesis of L-noviose (11), a sugar moiety of novobiocin, is presented. D-Gulonolactone was initially converted in a few steps to the key ester derivative 7 [1-O-benzyl methyl 2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-alpha-L-lyxofuranosiduronate]. An appropriate selection of protecting groups enabled
