Fructoselysine is an Amadori adduct of glucose to lysine. [1]
It breaks down into furosine on acid-catalysed hydrolysis. [2] E. coli breaks it down using the enzymes fructoselysine-6-kinase and fructoselysine 6-phosphate deglycase into glucose 6-phosphate and lysine, a set of enzymes located on the frl (fructoselysine) operon. [3]
