Chemical Structure Diagram

This image presents a chemical structure diagram of an oligosaccharide, specifically a linear chain composed of three hexapyranose sugar units. Each sugar unit is connected via glycosidic linkages, forming a carbohydrate backbone. The leftmost sugar unit features a phosphodiester group attached at its C6 position, which includes an ethyl substituent. The rightmost sugar unit shows a distinctive modification at its anomeric carbon (C1), where both a hydroxyl group and a methoxy group are depicted, indicating a unique form of glycosylation or derivatization at this terminal end.
