Carbohydrates & Glycobiology

Carbohydrates for glycobiology research range from sugars and sugar alcohols to amino sugars and polysaccharides. Sugar alcohols such as D-Sorbitol and maltitol are used as osmotic agents, stabilizers and enzyme substrates. Among the sugars, lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide built from galactose and fructose. Glucosamine and its salts represent the amino sugars, which are building blocks of glycosaminoglycans and chitin. Polysaccharides include hyaluronic acid, a glycosaminoglycan of the extracellular matrix, and chitosan, the deacetylated form of chitin. Protected sugars such as D-Xylofuranose, 1,2,3,5-tetraacetate serve as starting materials for nucleoside synthesis. The category belongs to Biochemical Assay Reagents, next to Acyl-CoA & Cofactors and Chelators & Bifunctional Chelators.

IPTG

Synonyms: Isopropyl β-D-thiogalactoside

IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside) acts as a molecular mimic of allolactose and serves as an inducer of the lac operon. This compound effectively triggers transcription in systems where gene expression is regulated by the lac operator, enabling controlled protein expression in biological research. IPTG is widely utilized in molecular biology and recombinant protein studies to regulate the activity of target genes within prokaryotic expression systems.
