title: Biochemical studies on 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose, an early intermediate in the biosynthesis of 2-deoxystreptamine. II. Quantitative analysis of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose.
abstract: A practical quantitative analysis of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose by means of GC-MS selected-ion monitoring (SIM) was exploited in order to assay the enzymatic 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose formation, the first stage of the 2-deoxystreptamine biosynthesis. Mass spectral fragmentations of 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose tetra-O-trimethylsilyl (TMS) ether was also investigated by the use of [2,2-2H2]-2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose.
