In Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Michael Burkart's lab at UC San Diego reports the preparation of fully bio-based aromatic diisocyanates from a simple monosaccharide, D-galactose.

Capability is not the same as necessity… Galactose is a remarkable molecule. In the right context, it helps build a body. But when the blueprint is complete, it’s okay to let the architect rest.

Galactosemia (GAL) (McKusick 230400) caused by deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT: EC 2.7.712) is associated with an impaired ability to metabolize galactose, derived from ...

Background and aims: Hypoglycemia is a typical, potentially life-threatening symptom in classical galactosemia with blood galactose considerably elevated (up to ∼100 mg/dl). Therefore we tested ...

Dubbed Bosco Broth, it uses galactose rather than lactose to induce auto-expression. When coupled with Arktos’ proprietary production platform, “Bosco Broth…has demonstrated efficiency ...
