The amino sugars are an important group of natural products. These molecules are widely distributed in nature, being found in almost all living creatures, and play diverse biologically important roles. While the amino sugar is often part of a larger molecule, its presence is usually important to the biological function. Examples of important molecules containing amino sugars are aminosaccharide antibiotics,'antigenic determinants, 2 glycoproteins, ...
