N-Acetylglucosamine: Production and Applications [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is a monosaccharide that usually polymerizes linearly through (1,4)-β-linkages. GlcNAc is the monomeric unit of the polymer chitin, the second most abundant carbohydrate after cellulose.

Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide Removal Using N‑Acetylglucosamine [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 Glucosamine, the amino sugar made from glucose, is a safe and natural reagent for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture. Its most plentiful derivative, N-acetylglucosamine (or NAG), was studied in this work with respect to its reaction kinetics in aqueous solutions.

Truncation of poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) polymerization with N-acetylglucosamine analogues [PDF]
ACS Chemical Biology, 2021 AbstractBacteria require polysaccharides for structure, survival, and virulence. Despite the central role these structures play in microbiology few tools are available to manipulate their production. In E. coli the glycosyltransferase complex PgaCD produces poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG), an extracellular matrix polysaccharide required for biofilm ...

Genome-wide analysis of in vivo binding of the master regulator DasR in Streptomyces coelicolor identifies novel non-canonical targets. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Streptomycetes produce a wealth of natural products, including over half of all known antibiotics. It was previously demonstrated that N-acetylglucosamine and secondary metabolism are closely entwined in streptomycetes.
