MtoZ Biolabs offers comprehensive Glycosides Analysis Service to advance research in natural products, pharmaceuticals, food chemistry, and metabolic biotechnology. Combining state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, and NMR platforms, we deliver high-resolution identification, quantification, and structural elucidation of glycosides and related compounds. Our service helps researchers unravel glycoside diversity, biosynthetic pathways, and functional roles across plants, microorganisms, and biological systems.
What are Glycosides?
Glycosides are molecules in which a sugar moiety (glycone) is covalently linked to a non-sugar aglycone through a glycosidic bond. They are widely distributed in plants, animals, and microbes and exhibit extensive structural and biological diversity. These compounds participate in essential physiological processes such as energy storage, stress response, and intercellular signaling. Beyond their biological functions, glycosides are major pharmacologically active constituents in medicinal plants and natural products.
