2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl azide is a biochemical reagent employed in glycoscience studies. Glycoscience focuses on the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars, encompassing carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan interactions, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely tied to fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
