Application

2-Keto-D-glucose (D-Glucosone) is a key intermediate of a secondary metabolic pathway leading to the antibiotic cortalcerone. D-Glucosone is a substrate that may be used to identify, differentiate and characterize hexokinase(s).

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Keto-D-glucose is the key intermediate of a secondary metabolic pathway leading to the antibiotic β-pyrone cortalcerone. This antibiotic offers protection to fungi against bacteria. The enzymatic oxidation of d-glucose by pyanose 2 oxidase results in 2-keto-D-glucose, and is considered as rare sugar.

Packaging

The enzymatic oxidation of D-glucose to 2-keto-D-glucose (D-arabino-hexos-2-ulose, D-glucosone) is of prospective industrial interest. Pyranose oxidase (POx) from Peniphora gigantea is deactivated during the reaction. To develop a kinetic model including the main reaction and the enzyme inactivation, possible side-reactions

Glyceraldehyde (GLA) was determined in glucose degradation and glycation. GLA was detected as a decahydroacridine-1,8-dione derivative on reversed phase HPLC using cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatizing reagent. The glucose-derived GLA level was higher than the glycation-derived GLA level, because GLA was converted to
