Cellopentaose (CAS 2240-27-9)
QUICK LINKS
Cellopentaose is a 5-glucose cellulodextrin that is a cellulose oligomer similar to cellulobiose (2-glucose), cellulotriose (3-glucose), and cellulotetraose (4-glucose). Cellulose is a major structural component of plant cell walls and one of the most abundant organic compounds on Earth. Cellopentaose is used by cellulosic bacteria as source of energy. Cellopentaose may be used to help identify, differentiate and characterize oligosaccharide metabolizing enzymes such as endoglucanases and beta-glucosidases. The study of cellopentaose and similar oligosaccharides is important for understanding the enzymatic breakdown of cellulose into glucose, which is a key process in various biotechnological applications, including the production of biofuels from biomass. Enzymes called cellulases hydrolyze cellulose into smaller oligosaccharides and eventually into glucose, which can then be fermented to produce ethanol or other chemicals.
