  2. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    The fact that d-glucose is dextrorotatory is a combined effect of its four chiral centres, not just of C-5; some of the other d-aldohexoses are levorotatory. The conversion between the two anomers can be observed in a polarimeter since pure α-d-glucose has a specific rotation angle of +112.2° mL/(dm·g), pure β-d-glucose of +17.5° mL/(dm·g ...

  3. Haworth projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haworth_projection

    The Haworth projection was named after the British chemist Sir Norman Haworth. [2] A Haworth projection has the following characteristics: [3] Carbon is the implicit type of atom. In the example on the right, the atoms numbered from 1 to 6 are all carbon atoms. Carbon 1 is known as the anomeric carbon. Hydrogen atoms on carbon are implicit. In ...

  4. α-Glucosidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Α-Glucosidase

    It is defined as "catalysis of the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing alpha-linked alpha-D-glucose residue with release of alpha-D-glucose." In this sense, "alpha-glucosidase" can encompass a wide range of enzyme activitiess, differing by the linkage of their terminal (1→3, 1→4, or 1→6), the specific identity of their substrate (sucrose ...

  5. Amylose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylose

    Amylose A is a parallel double-helix of linear chains of glucose. Amylose is made up of α(1→4) bound glucose molecules. The carbon atoms on glucose are numbered, starting at the aldehyde (C=O) carbon, so, in amylose, the 1-carbon on one glucose molecule is linked to the 4-carbon on the next glucose molecule (α(1→4) bonds).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Haworth

    Sir Walter Norman Haworth FRS [1] (19 March 1883 [2] – 19 March 1950) was a British chemist best known for his groundbreaking work on ascorbic acid while working at the University of Birmingham. He received the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his investigations on carbohydrates and vitamin C".

  9. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    Glucose, used as an energy source and for the synthesis of starch, glycogen and cellulose, is a hexose. Ribose and deoxyribose (in RNA and DNA, respectively) are pentose sugars. Examples of heptoses include the ketoses mannoheptulose and sedoheptulose. Monosaccharides with eight or more carbons are rarely observed as they are quite unstable.
