Fucoses (345)

Deoxysugars are sugars where one or more hydroxyl groups are substituted with hydrogen atoms. Examples of common deoxysugars include 2-deoxyribose and fucose. 2-Deoxyribose is a crucial building block of DNA, while fucose is a deoxyhexose modified at the C-6 position. Deoxysugars are integral to many essential glycoproteins and glycolipids, which are involved in processes such as cell signaling, adhesion, and immune responses.
