2-Acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl azide

2-Acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl 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[1].
