Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides are short chains of monosaccharides, typically consisting of 2 to 10 simple sugars. They play essential roles in cell recognition and binding, with glycolipids being crucial in immune responses. Our team at Sapala has extensive experience in this area, successfully synthesizing compounds like Leptosine efficiently.
