1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose is a class of biochemical reagents used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology and evolution of sugars. It involves carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology of glycan formation and degradation, protein-Glycan recognition and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine and biotechnology.
