  2. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    For many monosaccharides (including glucose), the cyclic forms predominate, in the solid state and in solutions, and therefore the same name commonly is used for the open- and closed-chain isomers. Thus, for example, the term "glucose" may signify glucofuranose, glucopyranose, the open-chain form, or a mixture of the three.

  3. Ketose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketose

    Fructose, an example of a ketose. The ketone group is the double-bonded oxygen. In organic chemistry, a ketose is a monosaccharide containing one ketone (>C=O) group per molecule. [1] [2] The simplest ketose is dihydroxyacetone ((CH 2 OH) 2 C=O), which has only three carbon atoms. It is the only ketose with no optical activity.

  4. Deoxyribonucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deoxyribonucleotide

    A deoxyribonucleotide is a nucleotide that contains deoxyribose.They are the monomeric units of the informational biopolymer, deoxyribonucleic acid ().Each deoxyribonucleotide comprises three parts: a deoxyribose sugar (monosaccharide), a nitrogenous base, and one phosphoryl group. [1]

  5. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    The reason for glucose having the most stable cyclic form of all the aldohexoses is that its hydroxy groups (with the exception of the hydroxy group on the anomeric carbon of d-glucose) are in the equatorial position. Presumably, glucose is the most abundant natural monosaccharide because it is less glycated with proteins than other ...

    With few exceptions, all monosaccharides are variations on the empirical formula (CH 2 O) n, where n typically ranges from 3 to 7 . [3] Common examples include glucose, ribose, and deoxyribose. monosomy The abnormal and frequently pathological presence of only one chromosome of a normal diploid pair. It is a type of aneuploidy. Morpholino

  7. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    Scientifically, sugar loosely refers to a number of carbohydrates, such as monosaccharides, disaccharides, or oligosaccharides. Monosaccharides are also called "simple sugars", the most important being glucose. Most monosaccharides have a formula that conforms to C n H 2n O n with n between 3 and 7 (deoxyribose being an exception).

  8. Biomolecule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecule

    Examples of disaccharides include sucrose, maltose, and lactose. Polysaccharides are polymerized monosaccharides, or complex carbohydrates. They have multiple simple sugars. Examples are starch, cellulose, and glycogen. They are generally large and often have a complex branched connectivity.

  9. Oligosaccharide nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligosaccharide_nomenclature

    Two common examples are cellulose, a main component of the cell wall in plants, and starch, a name derived from the Anglo-Saxon stercan, meaning to stiffen. [2] To name a polysaccharide composed of a single type of monosaccharide, that is a homopolysaccharide, the ending “-ose” of the monosaccharide is replaced with “-an”. [3]
