Application
D-(-)-Erythrose, the D enantiomer of the aldose aldehyde erythrose, may be used as a reference compound in sugar metabolism analysis. D-(-)-Erythrose may be used to help identify and characterize erythrose reductase(s). D-Erythrose may be used to study the mechanisms of mutarotation in monosugars. D-Erythrose may be used to study the mechanisms of organic microspherule formation and Maillard (glycation) reactions.

Proteins with putative erythrose reductase activity have been identified in the filamentous fungi Trichoderma reesei, Aspergillus niger, and Fusarium graminearum by in silico analysis. The proteins found in T. reesei and A. niger had earlier been characterized as glycerol dehydrogenase

Erythritol is a natural sweetener that is used in the food industry. It is produced as an osmoprotectant by bacteria and yeast. Due to its chemical properties, it does not change the insulin level in the blood, and therefore it

In recent years, we developed a toolbox of heavy isotope containing compounds, which serve as metabolic amino acid precursors in the E. coli-based overexpression of aromatic residue labeled proteins. Our labeling techniques show excellent results both in terms of selectivity

Reaction of small sugars of less than four carbons with ammonia in water yielded organic microspherules generally less than ten microns in size. The time course of microspherule growth was examined for the D-erythrose-ammonia reaction that yielded microspherules attached to

Reactions of short sugars under mild, plausibly prebiotic conditions yield organic microspherules that may have played a role in prebiotic chemistry as primitive reaction vessels. It has been widely thought that nitrogen chemistry, in particular Amadori rearrangement, is central to
