Metabolism of dihydroxyacteone (DHA) were found to inhibit DHA metabolism. has been studied with rate liver extract. Formation of DHA phosphate and lacRequirements for ATP, NAD and magtate was demonstrated by paper chromanesium have been quantitated. Calcium, tography and autoradiography. Evidence lithium and phosphate ions as well as of a new DHA kinase is presented. several well known metabol...

Abstract Catalytic valorization of raw glycerol derived from biodiesel into high-value chemicals has attracted great attention. Here, we report chemoenzymatic cascade reactions that convert to lactic acid and glycolic acid. In the enzymatic step, a coenzyme recycling system was developed 1,3-dihydroxyacetone (DHA) with yield 92.3% in potassium phosphate buffer (300 mM, pH 7.1) containing 100 mM...

Dihydroxyacetone binds to proteins in the stratum corneum of the skin imparting a non-toxic, bronze color to the skin. The resulting pigments are called melanoidins, or brown chromophores. Since the 1980’s, improved formulations of sunless tanners are available due to more purified sources of DHA and refinements in the DHA manufacturing process. The color is not removed by simple washing, swimm...
