α-L-Rhamnose Monohydrate

Derivatives of mannose are characterized by the replacement of one of the hydroxyl groups at the 6-position with a hydrogen atom, resulting in a compound known as 6-deoxy-L-mannose. This molecule is also commonly referred to as methylpentose. It is one of the typical 6-deoxyhexose sugars, often found alongside Murray's sugar.

Description
Information
Application

α-L-Rhamnose is an enzyme that was initially discovered for its ability to break down poly-rhamnose, a polysaccharide that plays a pivotal role in plant cell walls. Its discovery is closely linked to the study of plant cellulose and the development of the field of biochemistry, though determining the exact date of its discovery may pose a challenge.

Development:

1. In the late 20th century, as molecular biology and bioengineering technologies advanced, scientists embarked on an in-depth exploration of the enzyme's structure and function.

2. Leveraging the progress in genetic engineering technology, researchers successfully cloned and expressed the gene responsible for α-L-rhamnase, thereby enabling large-scale production of this enzyme.

3. Subsequent research and engineering enhancements have significantly improved the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of α-L-rhamnase production.
