Abstract: | UDP-(1)fructose was synthesized essentially by the method of Michelson or Roseman et al. The product obtained was much more stable to acid than UDP-fructose isolated from Jerusalem artichoke tubers by Umemura et al.7) and UDP-glucose. Hydrolysis time curves of UDP-(1)fructose and fructose-1-phosphate in 0.01N HGl and 0.1N HCl both at 100°C are presented. It was concluded from these curves that UDP-(1)fructose was first hydrolyzed into UMP and fructose-1-phosphate, and then fructose-1-phosphate was hydrolyzed more slowly into free fructose and inorganic phosphate. |
