  2. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    The number of open chain stereoisomers for an aldose monosaccharide is larger by one than that of a ketose monosaccharide of the same length. Every ketose will have 2 (n−3) stereoisomers where n > 2 is the number of carbons. Every aldose will have 2 (n−2) stereoisomers where n > 2 is the number of carbons. These are also referred to as ...

  3. Triose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triose

    [2] Importance of Triose in the Body Trioses serve as metabolic intermediates in various different metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. Trioses contribute to the synthesis of essential biomolecules including lipids, amino acids, nucleotides, and carbohydrates.

  4. Isomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomer

    For example, replacing two atoms of common hydrogen by deuterium (, or ) on an ethane molecule yields two distinct structural isomers, depending on whether the substitutions are both on the same carbon (1,1-dideuteroethane, ) or one on each carbon (1,2-dideuteroethane, ); as if the substituent was chlorine instead of deuterium.

  5. L-Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-Glucose

    One of the known exceptions is in Burkholderia caryophylli, a plant pathogenic bacterium, which contains the enzyme d-threo-aldose 1-dehydrogenase which is capable of oxidizing l-glucose. [ 2 ] Like the d -isomer, l -glucose usually occurs as one of four cyclic structural isomers —α- and β- l -glucopyranose (the most common, with a six-atom ...

  6. Erythrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrose

    Erythrose is a tetrose saccharide with the chemical formula C 4 H 8 O 4.It has one aldehyde group, and is thus part of the aldose family. The natural isomer is D-erythrose; it is a diastereomer of D-threose.

  7. Aldose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldose

    Because formaldehyde (n=1) and glycolaldehyde (n=2) are not generally considered to be carbohydrates, [1] the simplest possible aldose is the triose glyceraldehyde, which only contains three carbon atoms. [2] Because they have at least one asymmetric carbon center, all aldoses exhibit stereoisomerism. Aldoses can exist in either a D - form or L ...

  8. Tetrose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrose

    One of the metabolic pathways that a tetrose is involved in is the Pentose Phosphate Pathway. [3] In the Pentose Phosphate Pathway, there is an oxidative stage and a non-oxidative stage. [ 4 ] A tetrose sugar, D-erythrose , is utilized in the non-oxidative stage, where D-ribulose 5-phosphate is generated into a 6 carbon sugar ( fructose 6 ...

  9. Carbohydrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate

    A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula C m (H 2 O) n (where m may or may not be different from n), which does not mean the H has covalent bonds with O (for example with CH 2 O, H has a covalent bond with C but not with O).
