L-ErythroseL-Erythrose is a monosaccharide that contains an hydroxyl group on the second carbon atom. It can be synthesized by a synthetic scheme involving glycolaldehyde and hydroxylamine. L-Erythrose has been shown to inhibit the enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase, which converts 2-phosphoglycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate. L-Erythrose has also been shown to inhibit dehydroascorbic acid reductase, which converts dehydroascorbic acid into ascorbic acid, and galactitol reductase, which converts galactitol into D-tagatose. The mutant strain of Escherichia coli K12 that was engineered to produce L-erythrose showed a decreased susceptibility to phage infection and an increased resistance to oxidative stress. In addition, the polyol pathway in E. coli was induced by L-erythrose treatment.
L-(+)-Erythrose is an aldotetrose carbohydrate that has been used in glycation studies and to characterize erythrose reductase activity.L(+)-Erythrose, an aldotetrose rare sugar, may be used in glycation studies and as a reference compound in tetrose carbohydrate separation and quantitation analysis. It may be used to help identify and characterize erythrose reductase(s) and to study the mechanisms of mutarotation in monosugars. L-Erythrose may be used as a reference compound in sugar metabolism analysis.A rare aldotetrose, L-erythrose, was produced from erythritol via a two-step reaction. In the first step, complete oxidation of erythritol to L-erythrulose was achieved by using Gluconobacter frateurii IFO 3254.Title:?L-Erythrose
