The molecule is an amino trisaccharide that is 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranose in which the hydroxy groups at positions 4 and 6 have been converted into the corresponding 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl and beta-D-mannopyranosyl derivatives, respectively. It is an amino trisaccharide, a member of acetamides and a glucosamine oligosaccharide. It derives from a N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosamine.
