Methyl (methyl 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulopyranosid)onate-7-phosphate is a biochemical reagent utilized in glycobiology research. Glycobiology explores the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars, involving carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation, protein-glycan recognition, and the roles of glycans in biological systems. This field is closely linked with fundamental research, biomedicine, and biotechnology.
