L-Rhamnose (6-deoxy-L-mannose) is a sugar belonging to a deoxy- family commonly found in bacteria and plants (Figure 1). It is now known that L-rhamnose sugar plays an important role in many pathogenic bacteria. Four enzymes are known to be involved in the path of biological synthesis. The crystal structures of two of these have been identified and the other two continue to be studied. This synthesis pathway is not present in humans. Thus, enzymes that functions in this pathway become very attractive for therapeutic intervention.
L-Rhamnose characteristic a sweet and slightly bitter taste similar to that of D-mannose. which is a typical 6-deoxyhexose, it has been found that sugar chains comprising various monosaccharides have physiological activities. Thus, there have been attempts to utilize these sugar chains as materials for pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. L-Rhamnose or its derivatives are sometimes used as the components of these sugar chains. Also it would be furthermore expected to be available as a material for a reaction flavor since it would under the Maillard reaction with an amino acid to thereby generate a characteristic smell.
HEGENG Brand High Purity L-Rhamnose is available in the field of biotechnology including plant cytology, microbial technology, genetic engineering, fermentation technology and immunology.
