Based on the SMILES representation O=C(O)C(=O)[C@@H](O)[C@H](O)[C@H](O)CO, the molecule can be described by:
The molecule is a ketoaldonic acid that is D-gluconic acid in which the hydroxy group at position 2 has been oxidised to a keto group. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It derives from a D-gluconic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2-dehydro-D-gluconate.
