Application

6-Phosphogluconic acid has been used in a study to assess a spectrophotometric method for the determination of creative phosphokinase and myokinase. It has also been used in a study to investigate the reversible enzymatic sythesis of diphosphopyridine nucleotide and inorganic pyrophosphate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphogluconic acid is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway.

Preparation Note

Prepared by a modification of the procedure of Seegmiller, J.E., et al., J. Biol. Chem., 192, 175 (1951).

Magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy has potential to non-invasively detect metabolites of diagnostic significance for precision oncology. Yet, many metabolites have similar chemical shifts, yielding highly convoluted 1H spectra of intact biological material and limiting diagnostic utility. Here, we show that
