Abstract

Sugar amino acids (SAAs) are defined as carbohydrate??based compounds that feature an amine and a carboxylate.1 View all references As such, SAAs are widely spread in nature, and neuraminic acid and N??acetyl muramic acid constitute important structural elements in many oligo(poly)saccharides and glycoconjugates. Interestingly, SAAs in nature are almost exclusively linked through interglycosidic bonds, not through amide bonds. The full potential of SAAs28. Fuchs , E.?? F. and ...
