General description
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is the acetylated derivative of glucosamine (GlcN). It is an important component of proteoglycans, glycoproteins, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and other building units found in connective tissue.
Application
N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine has been used:
- as sugar for competitive inhibition in lectin histochemistry
- as a component in Barbour-Stonner-Kelly (BSK) medium for cultivating Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes strains
- as a component of binding buffer to suspend Streptococcus pneumoniae strains for inhibition assay to examine the specificity of M-ficolin binding to S. pneumoniae strains
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is mainly used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries.

Poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG) saccharides are an important constituent of bacterial biofilms, such as those produced by Staphylococcus aureus. We have developed a simple two-step iterative method for the synthesis of β-(1→6)-glucosamine oligosaccharides that are structurally similar to PNAG. We illustrate the

Strong (1)H-(1)H coupling can significantly reduce the accuracy of (1)J(CH) measured from frequency differences in coupled HSQC spectra. Although accurate (1)J(CH) values can be extracted from spectral simulation, it would be more convenient if the same accurate (1)J(CH) values can

There is a considerable resurgence of interest in the role of aerobic glycolysis in cancer; however, increased glycolysis is frequently viewed as a consequence of oncogenic events that drive malignant cell growth and survival. Here we provide evidence that increased
