Recent studies in this laboratory, concerned with hexosamine metabolism, required Gm-6-P,’ Galm-BP, and their respective N-acetyl derivatives. Several methods are available for the preparation of Cm-6-P, but there appears to be no previous report of Calm-6-P, although an acid-stable Galm-P has been isolated from cartilage (4). Earlier reports indicated that hexokinase and ATP would phosphorylat...
