Molecules, 2018 Bacteria often contain rare deoxy amino sugars which are absent in the host cells. This structural difference can be harnessed for the development of vaccines. Over the last fifteen years, remarkable progress has been made toward the development of novel

Abiotic sugar enantiomers in the CI carbonaceous chondrite Orgueil [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe uneven detection of prebiotic organic compounds in meteorites—where amino acids and nucleobases are commonly identified but sugars remain rare and poorly characterized—limits our understanding of extraterrestrial organic chemistry.

Defined Glycan Ligands for Detecting Rare l-Sugar-Binding Proteins. [PDF]
J Am Chem SocMost cells are decorated with distinct sugar sequences that can be recognized by carbohydrate-binding proteins (CBPs), such as antibodies and lectins. While humans utilize ten monosaccharide building blocks, bacteria biosynthesize hundreds of activated sugars to assemble diverse glycans.

Recent Advances Regarding the Physiological Functions and Biosynthesis of D-Allulose
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 D-Allulose, a generally regarded as safe (GRAS) sugar, is rare in nature. It is among the most promising sweeteners for future use due to its low caloric content, sucrose-like taste, and unique functions.

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2020 Abstract We introduce rare sugars including their derivatives and supramolecular rare sugars, that have been actively researched at Kagawa University, Japan. Although the rare sugars are special sugars which hardly exist in nature, we has succeeded in mass synthesis of the rare sugars by utilizing biological enzyme isomerization reaction.

Production of rare sugars from common sugars in subcritical aqueous ethanol [PDF]
Food Chemistry, 2015 A new isomerization reaction was developed to synthesize rare ketoses. D-tagatose, D-xylulose, and D-ribulose were obtained in the maximum yields of 24%, 38%, and 40%, respectively, from the corresponding aldoses, D-galactose, D-xylose, and D-ribose, by treating the aldoses with 80% (v/v) subcritical aqueous ethanol at 180°C.
