D-Fructose-2-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of fructose, a simple sugar and a key carbohydrate in metabolism. The "2-13C" designation indicates that the carbon atom at the second position of the fructose molecule is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope, which is a non-radioactive isotope of carbon. This modification allows for the tracing of metabolic pathways in biological research, as the presence of the 13C isotope can be detected using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or mass spectrometry. D-Fructose itself is a hexose sugar, characterized by its sweet taste and solubility in water. It plays a crucial role in energy production and is found naturally in many fruits, honey, and root vegetables. The compound is utilized in various biochemical studies to understand carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic flux analysis. As a labeled compound, D-Fructose-2-13C is valuable in research settings, particularly in studies involving metabolic pathways and the dynamics of carbohydrate utilization in living organisms.
