Heptasaccharide Glc4Xyl3

121591-98-8

This is a complex oligosaccharide composed of a specific arrangement of four glucose (Glc) and three xylose (Xyl) units. The specific structure of this heptasaccharide makes it a valuable research tool. It is often used as a standard to study the structure of complex plant polysaccharides, particularly hemicelluloses, and the activity of enzymes that break them down.
