Alpha-D-Glucose 1,6-bisphosphate (cyclohexanamine) is a biochemical reagent used in glycobiology research. Glycobiology focuses on the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars and involves carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation, enzymology of degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked with fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
