Transfer of stereochemical information from low-optical-purity amino acids to sugars may have set the stage for the single-handedness of tetroses and hexoses in nature. Armando Córdova and ...

Plant waste is available in large amounts and contains a mixture of complex sugars including hexoses and pentoses that can be fermented to alcohol. "As these feedstocks represent the biggest ...

Further analysis has shown that efficient simultaneous utilization of sugar mixtures with different pentose/hexose ratios and different aeration conditions can be achieved by adjusting the initial ...

Sucrose metabolism also plays a pivotal role in the accumulation of sugar within tomato fruits. Upon being unloaded into sinks, sucrose undergoes hydrolysis into hexose or its derivatives ...
