2-amino-2-deoxygalacturonic acid

Description:

2-Amino-2-deoxygalacturonic acid is an amino sugar and a derivative of galacturonic acid, characterized by the presence of an amino group at the second carbon position and a hydroxyl group at the fourth carbon. This compound is typically found in the structure of pectin, a polysaccharide present in plant cell walls, contributing to the rigidity and stability of plant tissues. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the presence of hydroxyl and amino functional groups. The compound plays a role in various biological processes, including cell signaling and structural integrity in plants. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which enhances its solubility and reactivity. Additionally, 2-amino-2-deoxygalacturonic acid can undergo various chemical reactions typical of amino sugars, such as acylation and oxidation, making it a valuable compound in biochemical research and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and food science.
