Monosaccharide synthesis

Oligosaccharide synthesis focuses on producing simple sugars and their derivatives with precise structures for research and therapeutic use. These building blocks are vital in nucleic acid construction, energy metabolism, and glycan engineering. Through advanced chemical and enzymatic methods, scientists can create rare or modified monosaccharides that are otherwise difficult to isolate, enabling breakthroughs in glycobiology, diagnostics, and drug development.
