Description

Isosaccharinic acid is a bacterial strain that produces isosaccharinic acid as its main fatty acid. The thermodynamic data for the reaction mechanism of the conversion of glucose to isosaccharinic acid has been determined. Isosaccharinic acid formation is catalyzed by an enzyme called glycosyl-glycerate dehydrogenase, which converts glycerate to 3-hydroxypropanoic acid and then to 3-oxopropanoate before it undergoes decarboxylation and reduction to form isosaccharinic acid. Radionuclides such as TcO4 are used in chemical ionization mass spectrometry for the detection of this compound in samples. Neutral pH, high activation energies, and low binding constants are all factors that affect the stability of this molecule.
