3-Deoxy-D-arabinose, CAS:55658-87-2

3-Deoxy-D-arabinose
3-Deoxy-D-arabinose is a sugar that is synthesized by the biochemical process of de novo synthesis. It is a structural component of glycoproteins and lipopolysaccharides, which are essential for bacterial growth. 3-Deoxy-D-arabinose is also used in the regulation of gene expression. The efficient method for its production was discovered by enzymatic dehydrogenation of glucose with the enzyme dehydrogenase, which is encoded by corynebacterium glutamicum. This discovery has led to an unraveling of the wild-type strain’s metabolic pathways.CAS Number55658-87-2Product Name(2S,4S)-2,4,5-trihydroxypentanalIUPAC Name(2S,4S)-2,4,5-trihydroxypentanalMolecular FormulaC5H10O4Molecular Weight134.13 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C5H10O4/c6-2-4(8)1-5(9)3-7/h2,4-5,7-9H,1,3H2/t4-,5-/m0/s1InChI KeyGKHJPQPGKIAEJO-WHFBIAKZSA-NSMILESC(C(CO)O)C(C=O)OCanonical SMILESC(C(CO)O)C(C=O)OIsomeric SMILESC([C@@H](CO)O)[C@@H](C=O)O
