Abstract

Studies with extracts obtained from mung beans (Phaseolus aureus) showed that UDP-N-acetyl d-glucosamine is formed from d-fructose 6-phosphate by a series of the following enzymic reactions: [Formula: see text]UDP-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine inhibits the first reaction in the multistep pathway leading to its biosynthesis.
