3α-Mannobiose
3α-Mannobiose is a disaccharide, a type of sugar made from two mannose units. The two sugars are joined by an α(1→3) glycosidic bond, connecting carbon 1 of one mannose to carbon 3 of the other.
IUPAC name: α-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1→3)-D-mannopyranose
Other names: 3-O-α-D-Mannopyranosyl-D-mannose; α-D-Man-(1→3)-D-Man
Molecular formula: C12H22O11
Molar mass: 342.30 g/mol
In short: 3α-Mannobiose = two mannose sugars linked by a bond from C1 to C3.
