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.

D-Psicose mitigates NAFLD mice induced by a high-fat diet by reducing lipid accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress [PDF]
Frontiers in NutritionD-Psicose (DPS) serves as an optimal sucrose substitute, providing only 0.3% of sucrose’s energy content, while exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties and inhibiting lipid synthesis.

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).

Construction of hyperthermostable d-allulose 3-epimerase from Arthrobacter globiformis M30 using the sequence information from Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus. [PDF]
FEBS Open Biod‐Allulose can be produced from d‐fructose by d‐allulose 3‐epimerase. Based on sequence homology information, we successfully engineered thermostable mutants with the protein engineering method. By integrating positive mutations, we constructed an enzyme that exhibits hyperthermostability without a loss in the activity.

Crystal structure of β-d,l-psicose
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2015 The title compound, C6H12O6, a C-3 position epimer of fructose, was crystallized from an aqueous solution of equimolar mixture of d- and l-psicose (1,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexan-2-one, ribo-2-hexulose, allulose), and it was confirmed that d-psicose (or l ...

Gene Cloning, Structural Prediction, and Prokaryotic Expression of Agrobacterium tumefaciens D-Psicose-3-Epimerase(根癌农杆菌D-阿洛酮糖-3-差向异构酶基因克隆、结构预测及原核表达) [PDF]
Shipin kexue jishu xuebao, 2019 D-Psicose can be converted from D-fructose catalyzed by D-psicose-3-epimerase. To realize the heterologous expression of D-psicose-3-epimerase (DPEase), the primers were designed to clone and isolate the gene.
