2-Deoxy-2-(1,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-2H-isoindol-2-yl)-α-D-glucopyranosyl azide 3,4,6-Triacetate

Uses

3,4,6-Tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-α-D-glucopyranosyl azide 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.
