Sugar nucleotides

Sugar nucleotides are the substances made of nucleotide and sugar. Sugar nucleotides are the activated forms of monosaccharides acting as glycosyl donors.Sugar nucleotides play a role as substrates in the enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides. For example, sugar nucleotides are used for glycosylation modification to biopharmaceutical.
Yamasa supplies 8 types of sugar nucleotides with high quality which can be used for glycoengineering by enzymatic synthesis technology.
