D-Psicose mitigates NAFLD mice induced by a high-fat diet by reducing lipid accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress [PDF]
D-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]
We 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]
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.

Synthesis of Sucrose-Mimicking Disaccharide by Intramolecular Aglycone Delivery [PDF]
Rare sugars are known for their ability to suppress postprandial blood glucose levels. Therefore, oligosaccharides and disaccharides derived from rare sugars could potentially serve as functional sweeteners.

Crystal structure of β-d,l-psicose
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 ...

Reaction Engineering and Comparison of Electroenzymatic and Enzymatic ATP Regeneration Systems
An electrochemically coupled ATP regeneration by pyruvate oxidase and acetate kinase for the phosphorylation of mevalonate was established and expanded by a polyphosphate kinase. The reaction was characterized and compared with other ATP regenerating systems in terms of the phosphate donor properties and biocatalytic metrics.

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]
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.
