L-(-)-Glucose

L-(-)-Glucose is an enantiomer of the more common D-glucose. L-Glucose is not bioavailable to cells as an energy source because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase. However, certain L-glucose-utilizing bacteria that contain NAD+-dependent L-glucose dehydrogenases capable of oxidizing L-glucose have been identified.Formal Name: L-glucose. CAS Number: 921-60-8.
