Product Information

• Name: 1,2:3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-a-L-galactopyranose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2:3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-a-L-galactopyranose is a synthetic sugar that is used for the saccharide modification of proteins. It has been shown to be an efficient and cost effective way to synthetically modify proteins with oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. 1,2:3,4-Di-O-isopropylidene-a-L-galactopyranose can be modified with fluorine atoms using a click chemistry reaction. This reaction is catalyzed by copper ions and generates a reactive thiol group on the sugar molecule that can then react with amino groups on protein molecules. The resulting product is a glycosylation site on the protein that can be further modified with other sugars or molecules. The fluorination step eliminates any possibility of adverse reactions being caused by the presence of reactive hydroxyl groups.
