1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucuronic acid  (Synonyms: β-D-Glucopyranuronic acid tetraacetate)

1,2,3, 4-tetra-o-acetyl-β-d-glucuronic acid (β-D-Glucopyranuronic acid tetraacetate) is a class of biochemical reagents used in the study of glycobiology. Glycobiology studies the structure, synthesis, biology, and evolution of sugars. It deals with carbohydrate chemistry, glycan formation and degradation enzymology, protein-glycan recognition, and the role of glycans in biological systems. The field is closely related to basic research, biomedicine and biotechnology^[1].
