Bioactivity | α-D-Glucose 1-phosphate (dipotassium) is a biochemical reagent used in the study of glycobiology. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It deals with carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. The field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine and biotechnology[1]. |
