Improving D-glucaric acid production from myo-inositol in E. coli by increasing MIOX stability and myo-inositol transport.

D-glucaric acid has been explored for a myriad of potential uses, including biopolymer production and cancer treatment. A biosynthetic route to produce D-glucaric acid from glucose has been constructed in Escherichia coli (Moon et al., 2009b), and analysis of the pathway revealed myo-inositol oxygenase (MIOX) to be the least active enzyme. To increase pathway productivity, we explored protein f...

Role of myo-inositol

myo-Inositol metabolism in plants

The multifunctional position supplied by myo-inositol is emerging as a central feature in plant biochemistry and physiology. In this critique, attention is drawn to metabolic aspects and current assessment is made of manifold ways in which myo-inositol and its metabolic products impact growth and development. The fact that a unique enzyme, common to all eukaryotic organisms where such assessmen...

2-Benzyl-myo-inositol monohydrate

The title structure, C(13)H(18)O(6)·H(2)O, contains two independent 2-benzyl-myo-inositol and water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are strongly hydrogen bonded into an infinite two dimensional network utilizing all OH protons.
