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.
