D-Xylose-1-13C

Description:

D-Xylose-1-13C is a stable isotope-labeled form of D-xylose, a five-carbon aldopentose sugar. The "1-13C" designation indicates that the carbon atom at the first position of the D-xylose molecule is replaced with the carbon-13 isotope, which is a non-radioactive isotope of carbon. This modification allows for the use of D-Xylose-1-13C in various biochemical and metabolic studies, particularly in tracing and analyzing carbohydrate metabolism. D-Xylose itself is a naturally occurring sugar found in many plants and is important in human nutrition and metabolism. It is typically used in clinical settings to assess intestinal absorption and is involved in various biochemical pathways. The presence of the carbon-13 isotope makes D-Xylose-1-13C useful in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for research purposes. As a chemical substance, it is generally stable under standard conditions, soluble in water, and exhibits properties typical of monosaccharides, including participation in glycosidic bond formation and fermentation processes.

D-[1-13C]Xylose

CAS: 70849-21-7

D-[1-13C]Xylose is a carbon source that is used to study the metabolism of glycolytic carbon in cells. It has been labeled with 13C and can be used as a tracer for the study of the distribution of metabolites, including glucuronic acid, mannose, and xylose. This can be done by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy or by using a magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique. The use of D-[1-13C]xylose has been shown to be an effective way to label cryptococcus neoformans cells in order to understand their metabolism.
