Description

D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate is a non-essential amino acid that belongs to the group of nucleotide sugar phosphates. It is a metabolite of the sugar D-glucose and it plays an important role in the energy metabolism of bacteria, plants, and animals. It has been shown to have anti-cancer effects on prostate cancer cells. D-Glucosamine 6-phosphate inhibits methyltransferase activity by binding to the enzyme's active site. This inhibition prevents DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. The structural analysis has been done using NMR spectroscopy on d-arabinose as a model substrate.
