Dihydroxyacetone metabolism in Haloferax volcanii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a ketose sugar that can be produced by oxidizing glycerol. DHA in the environment is taken up and phosphorylated to DHA-phosphate by glycerol kinase or DHA kinase.

Solution Chemistry of Dihydroxyacetone and Synthesis of Monomeric Dihydroxyacetone
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 2022 Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) is a major byproduct of e-cigarette combustion and is the active ingredient in sunless tanning products. Mounting evidence points to its damaging effects on cellular functions. While developing a simple synthetic route to monomeric [13C3]DHA for flux metabolic studies that compared DHA and glyceraldehyde (GA) metabolism, we ...

Redirection of the central metabolism of Klebsiella pneumoniae towards dihydroxyacetone production
Microbial Cell Factories, 2021 Background Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that can be used as producer for numerous chemicals. Glycerol can be catabolised by K. pneumoniae and dihydroxyacetone is an intermediate of this catabolism pathway.

Chemical Elements and the Quality of Mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) Honey
Foods, 2021 Soil properties in the foraging range of honeybees influence honey composition. We aimed to determine relationships between the antimicrobial properties of New Zealand mānuka (Leptospermum scoparium) honey and elemental concentrations in the honey ...

Molecules, 2022 In this paper, evidence is provided that the model reaction of aqueous dihydroxyacetone (DHA) conversion is as sensitive to the TiO2 catalysts’ basicity as to their acidity. Two parallel pathways transformed DHA: while the pathway catalyzed by Lewis acid

Dihydroxyacetone Kinases in Saccharomyces cerevisiaeAre Involved in Detoxification of Dihydroxyacetone [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 The genes YML070W/DAK1 and YFL053W/DAK2 in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were characterized by a combined genetic and biochemical approach that firmly functionally classified their encoded proteins as dihydroxyacetone kinases (DAKs), an enzyme present in most organisms. The kinetic properties of the two isoforms were similar, exhibiting K(m)((DHA))

Modeling of Osmotic Dehydration of Apples in Sugar Alcohols and Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) Solutions
Foods, 2019 The purpose of this paper is twofold: on the one hand, we verify effectiveness of alternatives solutes to sucrose solution as osmotic agents, while on the other hand we intend to analyze modeling transfer parameters, using different models.
