| Material Notes | Isol. from honey D-(+)-Turanose is a reducing disaccharide. Its systematic name is a-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-a-D-fructofuranose. It is an analog of sucrose not metabolized by higher plants, but rather acquired through the action of sucrose transporters for intracellular carbohydrate signaling. In addition to its involvement in signal transduction, D-(+)-Turanose can also be used as a carbon source by many organisms including numerous species of bacteria and fungi.; ; From Wiki; Turanose is a reducing disaccharide. The D-isomer is naturally occuring. Its systematic name is ?-D-glucopyranosyl-(1?3)-?-D-fructofuranose. It is an analog of sucrose not metabolized by higher plants, but rather acquired through the action of sucrose transporters for intracellular carbohydrate signaling. In addition to its involvement in signal transduction, D-(+)-turanose can also be used as a carbon source by many organisms including numerous species of bacteria and fungi. |
