Common NameD-Cellohexaose
DescriptionD-Cellohexaose is a carbohydrate belonging to the class of oligosaccharides, specifically a hexasaccharide composed of six D-glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Its chemical structure can be represented as a linear chain of glucose molecules, which contributes to its role in various biochemical pathways. D-Cellohexaose is involved in the enzymatic hydrolysis process, where it can be broken down by specific enzymes into smaller oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. For instance, the hydrolysis of D-cellotetraose and D-cellohexaose primarily yields D-cellobiose, alongside D-glucose and D-cellotriose, indicating its position within the cellulose degradation pathway (PMID:35910630 ). This pathway is crucial for the breakdown of cellulose in various organisms, facilitating the conversion of plant biomass into simpler sugars that can be utilized by microbial communities and other organisms for energy and growth. The presence of D-cellohexaose in such processes underscores its importance in carbohydrate metabolism and its potential applications in biotechnological fields, such as biofuel production and bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials.
