3α,4β-Galactotriose

56038-36-9

3α,4β-Galactotriose describes a specific trisaccharide (three sugar units) composed of galactose residues with defined glycosidic linkages (alpha and beta configurations at carbons 3 and 4, respectively). Such precisely defined oligosaccharides are important tools in glycobiology for understanding carbohydrate structure-function relationships and their interactions with proteins.
