Galactonic acid is a sugar acid that is a metabolic breakdown product of galactose. Galactose dehydrogenase is responsible for converting galactose to galactonolactone, which then spontaneously or enzymatically converts to galactonic acid[1]. | [Definition]
ChEBI:D-galactonic acid is a galactonic acid compound having D-configuration. It is a conjugate acid of a D-galactonate. It is an enantiomer of a L-galactonic acid. | [IC 50]
