Short Answer

Expert verified

The structure of the sugar is:

Step by step solution

01

Thiosugars

Thiosugars are sugar molecules that exhibit oxygen atom being replaced by a sulfur in a carbohydrate ring. These molecules generally acts as inhibitors of glycosidases.

02

Structure of thiosugar

The structure of the thiosugar, 2-deoxy-2-thio-尾-D-glucose is as follows:

The structure contains a thio group at the 2-position, where the oxygen has been replaced by a sulfur.
