DL-[1-^13C]Glyceraldehyde is a stable isotopic form of glyceraldehyde, a simple sugar and an important intermediate in various metabolic pathways, including glycolysis. The "DL" designation indicates that the substance is a racemic mixture of both enantiomers, D-glyceraldehyde and L-glyceraldehyde. The presence of the ^13C isotope signifies that one of the carbon atoms in the molecule is labeled with the stable isotope carbon-13, which is often used in metabolic studies and tracer experiments due to its unique nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) properties. Glyceraldehyde itself is a three-carbon aldose sugar, characterized by its aldehyde functional group and hydroxyl groups, making it a reducing sugar. It is soluble in water and has a sweet taste. The compound plays a crucial role in carbohydrate metabolism and is involved in the synthesis of various biomolecules. Its isotopic labeling allows researchers to track metabolic pathways and understand biochemical processes in greater detail.
