Beschreibung

L-Psicose is a monosaccharide that is the only metabolite of D-fructose. It is found in many living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi. L-Psicose has been shown to inhibit ribitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the production of ribitol, which catalyzes the conversion of ribitol to ribulose 5-phosphate. Ribulose 5-phosphate is an important precursor molecule for glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways. In addition, L-psicose has been shown to bind to proteins through hydrogen bonding, which may prevent the protein from folding properly or interacting with other molecules. This binding can lead to cell death if it inhibits essential cellular functions.
