In chemistry, a Haworth projection is a common way of writing a structural formula to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. Haworth projection approximate the shapes of the actual molecules better for furanoses —which are in reality nearly planar—than for pyranoses that exist in ...
l-Glucose is an organic compound with formula C 6 H 12 O 6 or O=CH[CH(OH)] 5 H, specifically one of the aldohexose monosaccharides. As the l-isomer of glucose, it is the enantiomer of the more common d-glucose. l-Glucose does not occur naturally in living organisms, but can be synthesized in the laboratory.
Haworth projection of the chitin molecule. A close-up of the wing of a leafhopper ; the wing is composed of chitin. A cicada emerges from its nymphal exoskeleton; the shed exoskeleton is mostly modified chitin ( sclerotin ) but the wings and much of the adult body are still unsclerotized chitin at this stage
N-Acetylglucosamine molecule. N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an amide derivative of the monosaccharide glucose.It is a secondary amide between glucosamine and acetic acid.It is significant in several biological systems.
Skeletal structural formula of Vitamin B 12.Many organic molecules are too complicated to be specified by a molecular formula.. The structural formula of a chemical compound is a graphic representation of the molecular structure (determined by structural chemistry methods), showing how the atoms are possibly arranged in the real three-dimensional space.
(Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday there would be "hell to pay" in the Middle East if hostages held in the Gaza Strip were not released prior to his Jan. 20 inauguration.
Opioid overdose. With the opioid epidemic claiming roughly 80,000 lives each year in the U.S., advocates encourage everyone to carry and learn how to use naloxone (also known as Narcan), which can ...
Haworth drew the ring as a flat hexagon with groups above and below the plane of the ring – the Haworth projection. [ 3 ] A further refinement to the conformation of pyranose rings came when Sponsler and Dore (1926) realized that Sachse's mathematical treatment of six-membered rings could be applied to their X-ray structure of cellulose .
