D-mycinose, also known as 3,5-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-D-arabinohex-2-ulosonic acid, is a unique monosaccharide found in certain antibiotics, such as vancomycin and teicoplanin. It is a modified sugar molecule with a methyl group attached to the third carbon and lacks two oxygen atoms compared to a standard hexose sugar. D-mycinose plays a crucial role in the structure and function of these antibiotics, contributing to their ability to bind to bacterial cell walls and inhibit cell wall synthesis, which ultimately leads to bacterial cell death. This sugar is not commonly found in nature, and its presence in these antibiotics is significant for their antimicrobial activity, particularly against Gram-positive bacteria.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2457-91-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,4,5 and 7 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2457-91: (6*2)+(5*4)+(4*5)+(3*7)+(2*9)+(1*1)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 2457-91-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
