dl-xylose

DL-Xylose ((±)-Xylos) is a sugar first derived from wood. DL-Xylose is classified as a monosaccharide of the aldopentose type.

D-Xylose ((2S,3R,4S,5R)-oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol) is a monosaccharide widely found in yeast and involved in the metabolism of the organism.

Xylose-1-13C is a 13C-labeled form of Xylose. D-(+)-Xylose is a natural compound that, under the catalysis of xylose isomerase, is converted into xylulose, a crucial step in the anaerobic fermentation of xylose to ethanol.

D-(+)-Xylose (Standard) is the standard substance of D-(+)-Xylose, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. D-(+)-Xylose (Wood sugar) is an aldopentose - a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms and an aldehyde functional group. It has chemical formula C5H10O5 and is 40% as sweet as sucrose. Xylose is also found in mucopolysaccharides of connective tissue and sometimes in the urine. Xylose is the first sugar added to serine or threonine residues during proteoglycan type O-glycosylation. Therefore xylose is involved in the biosythetic pathways of most anionic polysaccharides such as heparan sulphate and chondroitin sulphate. In medicine, xylose is used to test for malabsorption by administering a xylose solution to the patient after fasting. If xylose is detected in the blood and/or urine within the next few hours, it has been absorbed by the intestines. Xylose is said to be one of eight sugars which are essential for human nutrition, the others being galactose, glucose, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine, fucose, and sialic acid. . Xylose in the urine is a biomarker for the consumption of apples and other fruits.

Xylose-2-13C is a form of xylose labeled with carbon-13. D-(+)-xylose (Xylose) is a naturally occurring compound that, through the catalysis of xylose isomerase, is converted to xylulose, which is an essential step in the anaerobic ethanol fermentation of xylose.

L-Xylose (L-(-)-Xylose), a levo-isomer of Xylose, is classified as an aldopentose-type monosaccharide.

Xylose-4-13C is the 13C-labeled form of Xylose. D-(+)-Xylose is a natural compound that, when catalyzed by xylose isomerase, converts to xylulose, a crucial step in the anaerobic fermentation of xylose.

Xylose-5-13C is a 13C-labeled form of xylose. D-(+)-(Xylose) is a natural compound that, when catalyzed by xylose isomerase, forms xylulose, a crucial step in the anaerobic ethanol fermentation of xylose.
