Hydrolysis glucose formation

Specific determination of D-glucose (65) in plant exfi acts requires high purity GOX, devoid of /6-glucosidase, to avoid interference by hydrolysis of oligo- and polysaccharides that may lead to glucose formation and produce H2O2 on autoxidation ". ...

Cellulase catalyzes the hydrolysis of l,4-[S-glucosidic bonds in cellulose, lichenin, and other polysaccharides. One unit of cellulase activity releases 1 pmol of glucose from cellulose in 1 h at pH 5.0 and 37°C. Useful methods for determining the rate of glucose formation are described above, and may be employed for cellulase determination. 

Of all the monosaccharides d (+) glucose is the best known most important and most abundant Its formation from carbon dioxide water and sunlight is the central theme of photosynthesis Carbohydrate formation by photosynthesis is estimated to be on the order of 10 tons per year a source of stored energy utilized directly or indi rectly by all higher forms of life on the planet Glucose was isolated from raisins m 1747 and by hydrolysis of starch m 1811 Its structure was determined in work culmi nating m 1900 by Emil Fischer... 

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase is a dimer with a molecular mass of about 135 000. Up to eight electrophoretically separable isoenzymes for this enzyme are known. A specific feature of the above reaction is the formation of NADP Hr The reaction equilibrium is strongly shifted to the right, since the lactone formed is liable to hydrolysis, which is spontaneous or lactonase-assisted. 

In 1886, Brown11 discovered an organism which formed extremely tough membranes when cultivated m suitable nutrient solutions containing carbohydrates such as D-fructose, D-mannitol or D-glucose ethanol, sucrose or starch did not support membrane formation by this organism which Brown called Bacterium xylinum ) (Acetobacter xylinum). The membranes were readily soluble in cuprammonium hydroxide solution and yielded a dextrorotatory sugar upon acid hydrolysis. These properties and the results of combustion analysis led him to believe that the membrane was cellulose. 

Heterogeneous catalysts, particularly zeolites, have been found suitable for performing transformations of biomass carbohydrates for the production of fine and specialty chemicals.123 From these catalytic routes, the hydrolysis of abundant biomass saccharides, such as cellulose or sucrose, is of particular interest. The latter disaccharide constitutes one of the main renewable raw materials employed for the production of biobased products, notably food additives and pharmaceuticals.124 Hydrolysis of sucrose leads to a 1 1 mixture of glucose and fructose, termed invert sugar and, depending on the reaction conditions, the subsequent formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) as a by-product resulting from dehydration of fructose. HMF is a versatile intermediate used in industry, and can be derivatized to yield a number of polymerizable furanoid monomers. In particular, HMF has been used in the manufacture of special phenolic resins.125... 

VO(acac)2 < VO(Et-acac)2 VO(Me-acac)2 BMOV. Conversion rates for all hydrolysis products were faster than for the original species. Both EPR and visible spectroscopic studies of solutions prepared for administration to diabetic rats ocumented both a salt effect on the species formed and formation of a new halogen-containing complex. The authors concluded that vanadium compound efficacy with respect to long-term lowering of plasma glucose levels in diabetic rats traced the concentration of the hydrolysis product in the administration solution.
