1,2:3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-6-deoxy-6-azido-α-D-galactopyranose

1,2:3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-6-deoxy-6-azido-α-D-galactopyranose 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.
