lectin classes
Figure 2.1. (a) Structures of glyceraldehyde and dihydroxy acetone in Fischer projection; (b) d- and l-glyceraldehyde in quasi three-dimensional representation. The chiral nature of the central carbon in glyceraldehyde gives rise to two possible configurations of the molecule, termed d and l. Figure 2.2. Acyclic forms of the d series of aldoses, ranging from triose to hexose. Figure 2.3. Hemiacetal formation. Figure 2.4. The a and b anomers (C-1 epimers) of d-glucopyranose (in cyclic hemi- acetal structure). The dashed lines represent a distorted bond, projecting toward the rear. Figure 2.5. Haworth representations of furanose and pyranose structures. The simplified Haworth form with carbons omitted from the ring is routinely used. Note their apparent similarity to the furan and pyran rings. Figure 2.8. Mutarotation of d-glucose. The transformations are catalyzed by mildly acidic conditions. Figure 2.12. Glycoside formation: conversion of hemiacetal into acetal. Figure 2.13. Structures of disaccharides. Figure 9.17: Formation of lactose in vivo.
