Which monosaccharide has all its hydroxyl groups on chiral centers pointing to the right in its linear form?
Using the 'up-lefting' and 'down-right' method, convert the Fischer projection of D-glucose into its Haworth projection. What is the orientation of the hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon in the cyclic form?
In the cyclic form of D-fructose, which carbon is assigned as the anomeric carbon?
Which monosaccharide is the C2 epimer of D-glucose?
How does the C4 epimer of D-glucose, D-galactose, differ in chemical properties compared to D-glucose?
What structural feature distinguishes D-glucose from D-fructose?
When deriving the cyclic structure of D-fructose from its linear form, what is the orientation of the hydroxyl group on the C3 carbon?
