Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside monohydrate

Description:

Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside monohydrate is a carbohydrate derivative, specifically a methyl glycoside of galactose. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pyranose ring, indicative of its cyclic form, and a methoxy group (-OCH3) attached to the anomeric carbon. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds. The monohydrate form indicates that it contains one molecule of water per molecule of the anhydrous compound, which can influence its physical properties and stability. Methyl alpha-D-galactopyranoside is often used in biochemical research, particularly in studies involving glycosylation and carbohydrate interactions, as it can serve as a substrate for various enzymes. Its CAS number, 93302-26-2, is a unique identifier that facilitates the identification and sourcing of the compound in chemical databases and literature.

Methyl D-galactopyranoside

CAS: 93302-26-2

Methyl D-galactopyranoside is a lectin that binds to galactose residues in the glycosidic linkage of oligosaccharides. Methyl D-galactopyranoside is used in functional theory to determine the number of lysine residues on the dodecyl chain. This lectin has been shown to bind to anomeric linkages, which are different types of sugar molecules that have a carbon atom at the same position. The binding of this lectin to oligosaccharides can be detected by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). Methyl D-galactopyranoside has also been shown to have high salt and carbohydrate binding properties, as well as binding with galactose, trimethyl, and hydroxymethyl groups.
