Isolation and Identification of Enzymatic Reduction Products of D-Arabinosone by Osone Reductase

Abstract

Osone reductase catalyzed the reduction _??_ of D-arabinosone to two pentoses. They were separated by column chromatography and converted into two hydrazone derivertives. One of them was identified as p-bromo-phenylhydrazone of D-ribose and the other p-nitrophenylhydrazone of D-xylose.
