6-Deoxy-L-talose6-Deoxy-L-talose is a sugar that is found in the cell walls of bacteria. It is a component of glycan, which are long chains of sugar molecules linked together. Glycans are important for the structural integrity and function of bacterial cell walls. 6-Deoxy-L-talose is a monosaccharide that has been detected in the type strain of Bacillus subtilis and in wild-type strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This sugar can be chemically analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to determine its structure and chemical composition. 6-Deoxy-L-talose can be used to detect specific monoclonal antibodies against it, which could be useful for detecting bacterial infections or determining how antibiotics affect bacteria.CAS Number7658-10-8Product Name6-Deoxy-L-taloseIUPAC Name(2R,3R,4R,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanalMolecular FormulaC6H12O5Molecular Weight164.16 g/molInChIInChI=1S/C6H12O5/c1-3(8)5(10)6(11)4(9)2-7/h2-6,8-11H,1H3/t3-,4-,5+,6-/m0/s1InChI KeyPNNNRSAQSRJVSB-AZGQCCRYSA-NSMILESCC(C(C(C(C=O)O)O)O)OSynonyms6-deoxy-L-talose, 6-deoxytaloseCanonical SMILESCC(C(C(C(C=O)O)O)O)OIsomeric SMILESC[C@H]([C@@H]([C@@H]([C@@H](C=O)O)O)O)OCAS No: 7658-10-8 Synonyms: 2-Deoxy-1,3-myo-inosadiame MDL No: MFCD00269966 Chemical Formula: C6H12O5 Molecular Weight: 164.16References: 1.
