In the chemical synthesis of L-syn-p-methylsulfoxide phenylserine ethyl ester(D-ethyl ester),L-tartaric acid or enzymatic resolution is employed to resolve the racemate,and thus obtain the target compound,and the rema...
Hereditary fructose intolerance(HFI)is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disorder that occurs due to the mutation of enzyme aldolase B located on chromosome 9q22.3.A fructose load leads to the rapid accumulation of...
In a tour-de-force study by Zhang et al.recently published in Nature Metabolism,a newly identified aldolase inhibitor,Aldometanib,is shown to activate lysosomal AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK).Remarkably,mice treat...
