α-D-Mannofuranose

?-D-Mannofuranose, cyclic 2,3-carbonate is a biochemical reagent utilized in glycoscience research. Glycoscience explores the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It encompasses carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked to fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
