6-Azido-6-deoxy-D- mannose, CAS:316379-15-4

6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-mannose6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-mannose is a hexose sugar that has been implicated in the binding of lectins to glycoclusters. Lectins are carbohydrate binding proteins found on the surface of cells and some viruses, which bind to specific carbohydrates via their sugar moieties. This process is called lectinosis and it is sometimes used as a form of immune evasion by pathogens. 6-Azido-6-deoxy-D-mannose can be used as a linker to attach affinity ligands or affinity tags to glycoclusters, which are clusters of glycoconjugates that have an important biological function. 6AoDM also has anti-microbial properties, making it an opportunistic pathogen.CAS No316379-15-4Chemical FormulaC6H11N3O5Molecular Weight205.17 g/molSmiles[N-]=[N+]=NC[C@@H](O)[C@@H](O)[C@H](O)[C@H](O)C=O
