UDP-2-alkyne-GlcNAc

UDP-2-alkyne-GlcNAc is an alkyne-functionalized UDP-GlcNAc derivative for glycosylation and glycan-remodeling research. The alkyne offers a chemical handle for conjugation to a suitable azide partner after enzymatic transfer. Product selection The shorthand “2-alkyne” is not sufficient to establish linker connectivity, counterion or hydration. Request the structure and lot data before choosing a CAS number, formula or molecular weight. Product selection and documentation Reference identifiers describe the labelled chemical form; they do not establish the counterion or hydration of a particular lot. Confirm the supplied form, assay, purity method and storage conditions on the lot certificate of analysis. Use the lot-specific formula weight when preparing molar solutions. Experimental planning Enzyme acceptance depends on the transferase, acceptor and reaction conditions. Validate the donor with your enzyme system; nucleotide sugars should not be assumed to enter cells simply because related monosaccharide precursors do.
