Chemical Oxidation of Uridine Diphosphate-Glucose to Uridine Diphosphate-Glucuronic Acid [PDF]

Nature, 1961
THE importance of uronic acids in carbohydrate metabolism has only recently begun to be elucidated. The metabolism of inositol and ascorbate is known to involve uronic acid intermediates1,2, and nucleotide-bound glucuronic acid has been implicated in hyaluronic acid synthesis3.

Identification of sucrose synthase from Micractinium conductrix to favor biocatalytic glycosylation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Sucrose synthase (SuSy, EC 2.4.1.13) is a unique glycosyltransferase (GT) for developing cost-effective glycosylation processes. Up to now, some SuSys derived from plants and bacteria have been used to recycle uridine 5′-diphosphate glucose in the ...

Biosynthesis of glycogen from uridine diphosphate glucose [PDF]

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1959
Abstract An enzyme which leads to the formation of glycogen according to the equation: UDPG + primer → UDP + glucosyl α (1 → 4) primer has been studied. The optimal conditions for activity were determined with a partially purified preparation from rat muscle.

Thermodynamics of binding of divalent magnesium and manganese to uridine phosphates: implications for diabetes-related hypomagnesaemia and carbohydrate biocatalysis

Chemistry Central Journal, 2008
Background Although the necessity of divalent magnesium and manganese for full activity of sugar nucleotidyltransferases and glycosyltransferases is well known, the role of these metal cations in binding the substrates (uridine 5'-triphosphate, glucose-1-

In-silico Leishmania Target Selectivity of Antiparasitic Terpenoids

Molecules, 2013
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), like leishmaniasis, are major causes of mortality in resource-limited countries. The mortality associated with these diseases is largely due to fragile healthcare systems, lack of access to medicines, and resistance by

Immobilization of the Highly Active UDP-Glucose Pyrophosphorylase From Thermocrispum agreste Provides a Highly Efficient Biocatalyst for the Production of UDP-Glucose

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Biocatalysis that produces economically interesting compounds can be carried out by using free enzymes or microbial cells. However, often the cell metabolism does not allow the overproduction or secretion of activated sugars and thus downstream ...
