mutarotation Chem.|mjuːtərəˈteɪʃən| [f. L. mūtā-re to change + rotation.] The change of optical activity with time exhibited by the solutions of some compounds (esp. sugars) after being made up. (Orig. called multirotation (multi- 2).)
1899T. M. Lowry in Jrnl. Chem. Soc. LXXV. 213 The essential feature of the phenomenon, however, is the change of rotatory power which takes place in the freshly prepared solution, and the term ‘mutarotation’ may, therefore, be used with advantage to include all those cases in which such a change occurs without reference either to the sign or to the relative magnitude of the initial and final rotations. 1937Chem. Rev. XXI. 65 The brucine salt..was found..to exhibit definite mutarotation. 1971Jrnl. Gen. Psychol. LXXXV. 116 Each quantity of the sugar solution was refrigerated for a day before use at room temperature to allow adequate time for mutarotations. So mutaroˈtational a., of, or of the nature of, mutarotation. Also mutaroˈtate v. intr., to exhibit mutarotation; mutaroˈtating ppl. a.
1930Jrnl. Chem. Soc. ii. 2618 These two interconvertible, mutarotating forms of mannose are thus assigned different ring structures. 1951I. L. Finar Org. Chem. I. xviii. 372 These glycosides..do not undergo many of the reactions of the sugars, e.g., they show no reducing properties, they do not mutarotate, etc. 1971N. L. Allinger et al. Org. Chem. xxvii. 701 Monosaccharides commonly mutarotate. 1971M. F. Mallette et al. Introd. Biochem. v. 145 Because the acetals of carbohydrates are kinetically stable, they do not undergo mutarotational changes. 1973Biochemistry (Easton, Pa.) XII. 2544/1 If the enzyme..promoted instability by distorting the ring, the mutarotational rate would be enhanced. |
