β-D-Glucose is a main source of energy for living organisms. It is combined into glucosides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, the polysaccharides (cellulose and starch), and glycogen. β-D-glucose may contain up to 10% of α-isomer.

Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Mannose is a C-2 epimer of glucose. Mannose is important in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of certain proteins. Several congenital disorders of glycosylation are associated with mutations in enzymes involved in…

β-D-Glucose is critical for production of proteins and the lipid metabolism. β-D-Glucose is a main source of energy for living organisms and is combined into glucosides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides (cellulose and starch), and glycogen. D-Glucose, a naturally…

L-(+)-Arabinose is the naturally occurring isomer and is a constituent of plant polysaccharides. L-(+)-Arabinose is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize pentose sugar isomerase(s). L-Arabinose is used in the bioproduction of L-ribose. L-Arabinose is the naturally…
