Lactose is a disaccharide made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of
galactose linked by a bond called a glycosidic linkage.
Thus, through the collaboration with synthetic chemists, Dr. Jiao Jiao and Dr. Junichiro Yamaguchi, the team synthesized a disaccharide that consists of methyl - glucuronic acid and
galactose linked together.
