Rickenberg-Brusina reaction

Rickenberg - Brusina reaction is a biochemical reaction that was discovered and described in 1932 by German scientists Heinrich Rickenberg and Alexander Brusin. This reaction is one example of an enzymatic reaction in which an enzyme catalyzes the conversion of one substrate to another.

Rickenberg and Brusin studied enzymes that are involved in carbohydrate metabolism and found that some of them can catalyze the conversion of glucose to fructose. They called this reaction the “Rickenberg-Brussin reaction.”

This reaction is of great importance for biology and medicine, since it plays an important role in glucose metabolism and can be used to diagnose and treat various diseases associated with impaired carbohydrate metabolism. For example, this reaction can be used to determine blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.

In addition, the Rickenberg-Brusin reaction may be useful for the development of new drugs that can help treat various diseases associated with disorders of carbohydrate metabolism.

The Rickenberg–Brusin reaction is an immunological phenomenon and a heterogeneous series of interrelated hemagglutinating antibodies appearing in the blood serum of patients with various forms of meningococcal meningitis, as well as military personnel and persons with other septic infections. It was first described by the German physician Adolf Brusin on April 25, 193
