L-Threose

Description:

L-Threose is a naturally occurring sugar and an aldohexose, specifically classified as a four-carbon monosaccharide (tetrose). It is an isomer of D-threose and is characterized by its specific stereochemistry, which includes two hydroxyl groups (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO) in its structure. L-Threose is typically found in trace amounts in certain biological systems and can be synthesized through various chemical pathways. It is soluble in water, making it readily available for biochemical reactions. The compound plays a role in certain metabolic processes and is of interest in the study of carbohydrates and their derivatives. L-Threose can also be utilized in research related to glycoproteins and nucleic acids, as well as in the development of certain pharmaceuticals. Its CAS number, 95-44-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates the cataloging and referencing of this specific chemical substance in scientific literature and databases.

L-Threose - aqueous solution

CAS: 95-44-3

L-Threose is a sugar molecule that is used as a structural component of DNA and RNA. It is also an important part of the energy metabolism in cells. L-Threose can be enzymatically inactivated by glycosidases, which are enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds. The inhibition of glycosidases by L-threose may be useful for the prevention or treatment of diseases associated with enzyme activity, such as diabetes mellitus type II. L-Threose has been shown to have inhibitory properties against sephadex G-100, a membrane protein found in bacteria. L-Threose may be useful as a control agent for research into the response element of polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
