Deoxy sugars, as we saw in Section 25.7, have an oxygen atom “missing.” That is, an –OH group is replaced by an –H. Amino sugars, such as D-glucosamine, have an –OH group replaced by an –NH 2 . The N-acetyl amide derived from D-glucosamine is the monosaccharide unit from which chitin, the hard crust that protects insects and shellfish, is made.

These modified carbohydrates play critical roles in biological processes, such as cell recognition, energy production, and structural functions. Examples include N-acetylglucosamine in bacterial cell walls and L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which is essential for collagen synthesis and antioxidant protection.
