1,6-Anhydro-2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-mannopyranose

1,6-Anhydro-2,3-O-(1-methylethylidene)-β-D-mannopyranose 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.
