General description
D-Gulonic acid lithium salt, also known as Lithium D-gulonate, is a lithium salt of D-Gulonic acid commonly used as a vitamin precursor. D-gulonic acid falls within the category of organic compounds referred to as medium-chain hydroxy acids/sugar acids and derivatives, distinguished by a side chain composed of 6 to 12 carbon atoms. D-gulonic acid inhibits polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA synthesis by binding to the enzyme activities at their active sites, making it a valuable asset in biochemical and metabolomics research.
Application
D-gulonic acid lithium salt can be utilized to investigate microbial metabolism, explore enzyme functional diversity in metabolic processes, characterize metabolic pathways, and understand carbon utilization, providing potential benefits in biotechnology, drug discovery, cell culture, and biomedical research.
Features and Benefits
Versatile and adaptable for a variety of research and metabolomics applications
