Descripción

D-Galactose is a monosaccharide that is found in the cells of plants and animals. It can be synthesized from D-glucose by adding a D-galactose molecule to the alpha carbon of an existing glucose molecule. The resulting bond is called a glycosidic linkage. This process is called glycosylation. Glycosylation occurs when a sugar molecule reacts with another molecule, such as an amino acid, lipid, or nucleotide, to form what is known as a glycoside linkage. In this case, the sugar is D-galactose and the other molecules are either amino acids or lipids. The reaction between D-galactose and other molecules often results in polysaccharides and complex carbohydrates such as cellulose, chitin, and glycogen.
Methylation of D-galactose can produce methyl galactoside (CAS No. 1881-42-7), which
