Methyl-a-D-altropyranoside

Methyl a-D-altropyranoside is an electrolyte solution that is used for the stabilization and selective separation of glycosides. It has been shown to be effective at diagnosing bacterial infections by selectively binding to glycosylated nucleotides. The methyl group on the molecule is necessary for this function, and therefore it cannot act as a glycosylated nucleotide in its own right. Methyl a-D-altropyranoside may be used to synthesize nucleotides with axial or equatorial configurations, which are not usually found in nature. The yields of these sequences can be increased using this compound.
