• Synonyms: 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-L-mannoseN-Acetyl-L-mannosamineL-Mannac
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-L-mannopyranose is a sugar that is synthesized by the enzyme arabinofuranosidase. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of arabinose to form 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-l-mannopyranose. The enzyme has been shown to be thermostable and can be used as an acceptor for other enzymes, such as glycosyltransferases and glucosidases. The biosynthesis of 2-acetamido-2-deoxymannopyranose starts with l -arabinose, which is converted into d -arabinose by the action of aldaribinofuranosidase, followed by conversion into 2 acetamido--2 deoxymannopyranose by the action of arabinofuranosidase. Mutations in these enzymes have been found to affect the stereospecific
