Methyl-alpha-D-fucopyranoside is a monosaccharide derivative, specifically a methyl glycoside of fucose, which is a hexose sugar. It is characterized by its pyranose ring structure, which is a six-membered ring containing five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Methyl-alpha-D-fucopyranoside is often used in biochemical research and applications, particularly in studies involving glycoproteins and polysaccharides, as it can serve as a building block for more complex carbohydrates. Its chemical formula reflects its composition, and it exhibits typical carbohydrate reactivity, including participation in glycosidic bond formation. Additionally, it may have applications in the food industry and as a standard in analytical chemistry. As with many sugar derivatives, it is important to handle it with care, as it may have specific storage and stability requirements.

Methyl a-D-fucopyranoside

<p>Methyl a-D-fucopyranoside is a monoclonal antibody that binds to the O-antigen of the polysaccharide chain. It is a synthetic trisaccharide consisting of an o-antigen, an α-linked D-fucose residue, and an α-linked galactose residue. This antibody interacts with the serologic subtypes of Group A Streptococcus, but not with other serogroups. Methyl a-D-fucopyranoside utilizes conformational epitopes and disaccharides which are not accessible to other antibodies in order to bind to the o-antigen. The o-antigen is composed of two serologically distinct regions: one region for binding by anti-A antibodies, and another for binding by anti-B antibodies.</p>
