Beschreibung

2-C-Methyl-L-ribono-1,4-lactone is a crystallized carbohydrate that contains the enantiomers L and D. It is a chiral molecule with two asymmetric carbon atoms. The L form has a higher yield than the D form and can be synthesized from l-arabinose, dimethylamine, and isomerisation. This compound is also present in ketoses such as d-xylose and 1-deoxy-d-ribulose. 2CMLR1L4L acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme d-galactose dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of d-galactose to d-glucose. Cyanide can bind to this compound to form cyanohydrin adducts, which are toxic to cells.
