Chiral Sugars Drive Enantioenrichment in Prebiotic Amino Acid Synthesis
ACS Central Science, 2017 Chiral pentose sugars mediate the enantioselective synthesis of amino acid precursors, with the magnitude of the chiral induction dictated by a subtle cooperativity between sugar hydroxyl groups.

Abiotic sugar enantiomers in the CI carbonaceous chondrite Orgueil [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe uneven detection of prebiotic organic compounds in meteorites—where amino acids and nucleobases are commonly identified but sugars remain rare and poorly characterized—limits our understanding of extraterrestrial organic chemistry.

Evidence that intracellular stages of Leishmania major utilize amino sugars as a major carbon source. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2010 Intracellular parasites, such as Leishmania spp, must acquire suitable carbon sources from the host cell in order to replicate. Here we present evidence that intracellular amastigote stages of Leishmania exploit amino sugars in the phagolysosome of ...

Production and transformation of dissolved neutral sugars and amino acids by bacteria in seawater [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the ocean consists of a heterogeneous mixture of molecules, most of which are of unknown origin. Neutral sugars and amino acids are among the few recognizable biomolecules in DOM, and the molecular composition of these ...
