Bioactivity | N-Acetyl-2-O-methyl-α-neuraminic acid methyl ester 4,7,8,9-tetraacetateis 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]. |
