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.

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 Bio, Volume 15, Issue 9, Page 1508-1519, September 2025.d‐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.

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).
