laminaribiose

Laminaribiose is a disaccharide composed of two glucose molecules linked by a β-1,3-glycosidic bond. It is commonly found in various plant cell walls and is a hydrolysis product of the polysaccharide laminarin. Laminaribiose has multiple applications in biochemical research, particularly as a substrate for enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Additionally, it serves as a carbon source for certain microorganisms and as a dietary supplement.

Laminaribiose octaacetate is a bioactive chemical.

2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucose (Acetobromolaminaribiose) is a biochemical reagent utilized in glycobiology research. This field examines the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars, including carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. Glycobiology is closely linked to fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
