(2R,3S,4S,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Galactonic acid is a sugar acid that is a metabolic breakdown product of galactose. Galactose dehydrogenase is responsible for converting galactose to galactonolactone, which then spontaneously or enzymatically converts to galactonic acid[1].

Definition

ChEBI: D-galactonic acid is a galactonic acid compound having D-configuration. It is a conjugate acid of a D-galactonate. It is an enantiomer of a L-galactonic acid.
