Life Sciences
Study data from X. Meniche et al provide new insights into life sciences
September 9th, 2008
Fresh data on life sciences are presented in the report 'Partial redundancy in the synthesis of the D-arabinose incorporated in the cell wall arabinan of Corynebacterineae.' According to recent research from France, "The major cell wall carbohydrate of Corynebacterineae is arabinogalactan (AG), a branched polysaccharide that is essential for the physiology of these bacteria. Decaprenylphosphoryl-D-arabinose (DPA), the lipid donor of D-arabinofuranosyl residues of AG, is synthesized through a series of unique biosynthetic steps, the last one being the epimerization of decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose (DPR) into DPA, which is believed to proceed via a sequential oxidation-reduction...
