Methyl 4-O-methyl-D-glucopyranosyluronate

Ref. 3D-MM05244

Product Information

• Name: Methyl 4-O-methyl-D-glucopyranosyluronate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl 4-O-methyl-D-glucopyranosyluronate is a fungal metabolite that is produced by the reaction of armillaria with methyl 4-O-methyl-D-glucopyranoside. Methyl 4-O-methylglucuronyluronate has been shown to have an esterase activity, which can hydrolyze esters and linkages in the cell wall of fungi. This enzyme has been shown to have kinetic parameters that are different for different substrates. The catalytic site of this enzyme has also been found to be glutamic acid, which plays a role in the synthesis and degradation of proteins. Methyl 4-O-methylglucuronyluronate has been found to be insoluble in water and is not active against bacteria.
