:D-mannoheptose
Description:
D-mannoheptose is a seven-carbon sugar, classified as a monosaccharide and part of the aldohexose family. It is an epimer of D-glycero-D-manno-heptose, differing in the configuration around one of its hydroxyl groups. D-mannoheptose is typically found in the form of a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it readily available for various biochemical applications. Its molecular formula is C7H14O7, and it features multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups, contributing to its hydrophilicity and reactivity. This sugar plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of certain polysaccharides and is involved in the structure of bacterial cell walls, particularly in some pathogenic bacteria. D-mannoheptose is also of interest in research related to immunology and microbiology due to its potential role in immune responses. Its unique structural properties and biological significance make it a subject of study in carbohydrate chemistry and related fields.
