L-(+)-Lyxose (CAS 1949-78-6)
QUICK LINKS
L-(+)-Lyxose is a rare sugar, specifically an aldopentose monosaccharide. It′s an isomer of xylose and ribose, and unlike glucose, fructose, or other more common sugars, lyxose does not naturally occur in significant amounts in most living organisms. Its unique properties make it a subject of interest for specialized studies, particularly in the fields of microbiology, synthetic organic chemistry, and metabolic research. L-(+)-Lyxose can be used as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. In addition, some bacteria have enzymes that can metabolize L-(+)-Lyxose. By studying these pathways, researchers can gain insights into the unique metabolic capabilities of these microorganisms and their potential applications. Furthermore, L-(+)-Lyxose can be used as a reference compound in chromatography or other analytical methods when researchers are investigating or characterizing complex mixtures of sugars.
