l xylose

L-Xylose (L-(-)-Xylose) 是一种木糖的左旋结构。其中木糖是醛戊糖类型的单糖。

DL-Xylose ((±)-Xylos) 是有机合成过程的一种中间体。

Ribulose is an important metabolite in pentose interconversions. Ribulose is useful for analyzing L-ribose isomerase, engineering yeast for xylose metabolism, interesting chiral pool compound.

L-Xylulose is an intermediate in certain metabolic pathways and is classified as a rare sugar. It shows important physiological effects such as acting as an inhibitor of α-glucosidase and decreasing blood glucose, and it can be employed to produce other significant rare sugars, such as L-ribose and L-xylose which contribute to the production of antiviral drugs.
