Abstract: The C-branched pentose sugar d-apiose is important for plant cell wall development. Its biosynthesis as urdine diphosphate-d-apiose (UDP-d-apiose) involves decarboxylation of the UDP-d-glucuronic acid precursor coupled with pyranosyl-to-furanosyl sugar ring contraction. This unusual multistep reaction… read more here.

Abstract: Thiosugars containing a sulfur atom as heteroatom in the sugar ring are highly interesting. In particular, 5-thioaldopyranoses have attracted considerable attention because they exhibit biologically important properties as the substrates for glycosidases also can be… read more here.
