Adenosine Diphosphate Glucose and Glucoside Biosynthesis

Nature volume 195, page 1202 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

URIDINE diphosphate glucose (UDPG) has been found to act as glucose donor in a number of enzymatic reactions, such as glucoside formation in plants1 and in locust2, sucrose and starch synthesis in plants3,4 and glycogen formation in mammals5.
