アブストラクト
A disaccharide, α, α-trehalose, acts as a substitute for water in biological
systems. Such a function comes from the unique hydration and solid-state properties
of this sugar, which ultimately originate in the presence of the α, α-1,1-glycosidic
linkage. A recent study on the anhydrobiosis of Polypedilum vanderplanki, an insect
that survives desiccation, brought about a significant advance in our understanding
of the functional mechanism of trehalose in vivo.
