Description

2-Carboxyarabinitol 1-Phosphate (CAS NO 106777-19-9) is a specialized phosphorylated sugar derivative that serves as a critical biochemical tool and research compound. Its primary significance lies in its role as a potent, naturally occurring inhibitor of the enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), making it invaluable for studying photosynthetic carbon fixation. This compound is essential for researchers and developers in plant biochemistry, enzymology, and metabolic pathway analysis. It is also utilized in the synthesis of complex carbohydrate analogs and as a reference standard in analytical laboratories.

Application

• Biochemical Research: As a specific, high-affinity inhibitor of Rubisco for mechanistic studies of photosynthesis and carbon metabolism.
• Enzyme Kinetics: Used to investigate inhibition constants, binding sites, and catalytic mechanisms of carboxylase/oxygenase enzymes.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: A key tool for probing the Calvin cycle and understanding regulatory points in plant and algal systems.
• Reference Standard: Serves as a high-purity analytical standard for HPLC, LC-MS, or NMR quantification in research and quality control labs.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Potential use in the synthesis of novel nucleoside analogs or other bioactive carbohydrate-based molecules.
• Agrochemical Research: Investigating plant growth regulators or developing novel herbicides that target photosynthetic machinery.
