Polysaccharides, such as cellulose and amylose, consist of D-glucose units linked by 1–4 glucosidic bonds, forming natural polymers which have a helical structure. When not derivatized, cellulose and amylose have limited enantioselectivity since their very dense structure does not allow inclusion of...
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is a monosaccharide, derived from glucose and undergoes linear polymerization by (1,4)-β-linkages to form the polymer chitin. It is also a component of heterogenous polysaccharides, such as murein and hyaluronic acid.N-acetylglucosamine exhibits anti-inflammatory pro...
Furthermore, D-glucose can exist in both linear form and cyclic form, but L-glucose exists in an equilibrium mixture of α-L-glucopyranose and β-L-glucopyranose. D-glucose is the main energy source in most of the living organisms. However, L-Glucose is a low-calorie sweetener that is a...
4.2.Transport selectivity for D-glucose Researchers have reported that although thebinding constantfor fructose is about 50 times that of glucose [37], theselectivityof monoboronic acids forD-fructoseis only about 4:1. Strong glucose binding can be achieved upon D-glucopyranose being isomerized to...

It is a very slow metabolism process from D-xylitol to D-glucose, so in this way the blood glucose and the insulin concentration raise gently [53]. In insulin-deficiency conditions, D-xylitol could be used as a sugar substitute. Adding the low energy content and the smaller thermogenic ...
PGG, a galloyl-beta-D-glucose compound having five galloyl groups in the 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 positions, is flexible in solution challenged the GAPDH-PGG complex crystal structure packing. We failed to obtain the GAPDH-PGG complex structure either as cocrystals or by soaking. Nonetheless, ...
