Application
PMI is used to study cell wall synthesis and energy production. PMI has been used to study how EDTA and metal ions, such as Zn++, Co++, Fe++, Mn++ and Cu++., can affect recovery and thermal stability. It may be used to study PMI′s effect on various alginate biosynthetic enzymes such as phosphomannomutase (PMM), GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GMP), and GDP-mannose dehydrogenase (GMD).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Phosphomannose Isomerase (PMI) catalyses the interconversion of mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P) and fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), which provides a link between glucose metabolism and mannosylation.
Other Notes
One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-mannose 6-phosphate to D-fructose 6-phosphate per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C, using a coupled enzyme system with phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Packaging
Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

We report the discovery and validation of a series of benzoisothiazolones as potent inhibitors of phosphomannose isomerase (PMI), an enzyme that converts mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P) into fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and, more importantly, competes with phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2) for Man-6-P, diverting this substrate

In the design of inhibitors of phosphosugar metabolizing enzymes and receptors with therapeutic interest, malonate has been reported in a number of cases as a good and hydrolytically-stable surrogate of the phosphate group, since both functions are dianionic at physiological

Coxiella burnetii, the etiologic agent of human Q fever, is a gram-negative and naturally obligate intracellular bacterium. The O-specific polysaccharide chain (O-PS) of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of C. burnetii is considered a heteropolymer of the two unusual sugars β-D-virenose and

The gram-negative facultative chemolithoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha strain H16 is known for its narrow carbohydrate utilization range, which limits its use for biotechnological production of polyhydroxyalkanoates and possibly other products from renewable resources. To broaden its substrate utilization range, which

Plant resistance (R) genes are highly effective in protecting plants against diseases, but pathogens can overcome such genes relatively easily by adaptation. Consequently, in many cases R genes do not confer durable resistance in agricultural environments. One possible strategy to
