Azúcarfosfatos
Azúcarfosfatos, also known as sugar phosphates or carbohydrate phosphates, are a class of organic compounds formed when a phosphate group is attached to a sugar molecule. These compounds play crucial roles in numerous biological processes, particularly in energy metabolism and biosynthesis. The phosphate group is typically esterified to a hydroxyl group on the sugar ring.
In living organisms, sugar phosphates are key intermediates in pathways like glycolysis and gluconeogenesis, where they
Beyond energy metabolism, sugar phosphates are also involved in the synthesis of complex carbohydrates, nucleic acids,
