General description
DL-Glyceraldehyde , dimer, a dimeric form of DL-glyceraldehyde is an organic compound that possesses a symmetrical p-dioxan crystalline structure with equatorially bonded hydroxy and hydroxymethyl groups. It reacts with a primary alkyl amine to form a Schiff base, during the synthesis of DL-alanine derivatives.
Application
- Aldehyde Reductase Activity: The enzymatic properties of DL-Glyceraldehyde dimer were examined in the context of aldehyde reductases from Euonymus japonica leaves, providing insights into the reduction processes of aldose sugars, which are significant for understanding stress responses in plants (Negm, 1986).
- Enzymatic Reductase Functions: DL-Glyceraldehyde dimer was studied in the purification and characterization of human liver aldehyde reductases, focusing on its role in metabolic detoxification, crucial for pharmaceutical applications involving drug metabolism and toxicity (Petrash and Srivastava, 1982).
- Protozoan Metabolic Pathways: The enzymatic characterization of aldehyde reductase from Crithidia fasciculata, with DL-Glyceraldehyde dimer as a substrate, provided insights into the metabolic pathways of protozoans, important for developing treatments against parasitic infections (Kobayashi, 1982).
