Application

L-Allose is a pure enantiomer that may be used with other aldose substrates such as D-lyxose, D-mannose, L-ribose, and D-talose to identify, differentiate and characterize aldose isomerase(s) and epimerase(s).

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

An expeditious and efficient synthesis of 1,6-anhydro-beta-L-hexopyranosyl derivatives 3 as valuable building blocks for the preparation of L-sugars is herein reported. This route relies upon the use of a domino reaction involving five synthetic steps from the 5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin 4. As

A newly isolated bacterium, Cohnella laevoribosii RI-39, could grow in a defined medium with L-ribose as the sole carbon source. A 21-kDa protein isomerizing L-ribose to L-ribulose, as well as D-lyxose to D-xylulose, was purified to homogeneity from this bacterium.

D-Allose, a rare, naturally occurring monosaccharide, is known to exert anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. The effects of D-allose on the cellular membranes of hormone-refractory prostate cancer cell line (DU145), hormone-sensitive prostate cancer cell line (LNCaP), and normal prostate epithelial

The anti-oxidative activity of the rare sugar D-allose has recently been reported, but the mechanism is largely unclear. In this study, we evaluated the reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities of D-allose and then examined the effects of D-allose on

The specific activity and catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) of the recombinant putative protein from Providencia stuartii was the highest for D-lyxose among the aldose substrates, indicating that it is a D-lyxose isomerase. Gel filtration analysis suggested that the native enzyme is
