D-[5-2H]GLUCOSE

Description:

D-[5-2H]glucose, also known as D-glucose-5-d, is a stable isotopic form of glucose where the hydrogen atom at the fifth carbon position is replaced by deuterium, a heavier isotope of hydrogen. This modification allows for various applications in biochemical research, particularly in metabolic studies and tracer experiments, as it can help track the pathways of glucose metabolism in living organisms. D-[5-2H]glucose retains the fundamental characteristics of glucose, including its role as a primary energy source for cells and its involvement in various metabolic pathways. It is a monosaccharide with a molecular formula of C6H12O6, and it exhibits typical properties of carbohydrates, such as solubility in water and the ability to form cyclic structures. The presence of deuterium can also influence the physical and chemical properties slightly, such as the rate of reaction and vibrational frequencies in spectroscopic studies. Overall, D-[5-2H]glucose serves as a valuable tool in scientific research, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and metabolic engineering.

Controlled Product

CAS: 136864-16-9

D-[5-2H]Glucose is a deuterated form of glucose that is used in the study of lipid synthesis. This isotopically labeled compound can be incorporated into cellular lipids and their derivatives, such as glycerides and phospholipids. D-[5-2H]Glucose can be used to investigate the biosynthesis of lipids by measuring the incorporation rate and the number of 2H atoms found in each molecule. D-[5-2H]Glucose may also be used to study membrane lipid synthesis, which includes anomeric effects on lipid synthesis. The theory behind this is that when a molecule is incorporated into a lipid, it will have at least one hydrogen atom from deuterium instead of hydrogen. This isotopically labeled compound can be used to measure how anomeric effects influence lipid synthesis.
