Descripción

L-Glucose is a monosaccharide that belongs to the group of carbohydrates. L-Glucose is an important energy source for living organisms and plays a role in many metabolic pathways, including glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, as well as cell signaling. It is also an essential component of DNA and RNA. L-Glucose has been shown to have effects on brain functions such as memory and learning ability, which may be due to its ability to signal neurons. L-Glucose can be used in model systems to study the effects of diabetes on cells and has been shown to have pluripotent effects on cells. In addition, this molecule has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria by binding to the enzyme polysaccharide kinase and reducing its activity. This inhibition leads to decreased synthesis of polysaccharides (e.g., glycogen) that are necessary for cell division.
