Effects of monosaccharides including rare sugars on proliferation of Entamoeba histolytica trophozoites in vitro [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan with roles in pathogenicity of intestinal amoebiasis. E. histolytica trophozoites lack functional mitochondria and their energy production depends mostly on glycolysis.

The 90-day oral toxicity of d-psicose in male Wistar rats. [PDF]
J Clin Biochem Nutr, 2012 d-Psicose is a rare sugar present in small quantities in natural products. In a previous study, we showed that d-psicose suppresses increase in plasma glucose and reduces body fat accumulation in rats. Based on acute toxicity testing in rats, d-psicose is classified as an ordinary substance (LD(50) = 16 g/kg).

Effect of Monosaccharides Including Rare Sugars on the Bilayer Phase Behavior of Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine [PDF]
MembranesWe observed bilayer phase transitions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in aqueous solutions of four kinds of monosaccharides, namely, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-allose and D-psicose, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Enhanced Thermostability of D-Psicose 3-Epimerase from Clostridium bolteae through Rational Design and Engineering of New Disulfide Bridges. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2021 D-psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase) catalyzes the isomerization of D-fructose to D-psicose (aka D-allulose, a low-calorie sweetener), but its industrial application has been restricted by the poor thermostability of the naturally available enzymes ...
