Which of the following are L sugars and which are D sugars?
Question:
Which of the following are L sugars and which are D sugars?
 |
Sugars:
The sugars represent the carbohydrates which consist of a chain of chiral carbons. The hydroxyl group of the last carbon is analyzed to classify the sugar into subtype D or L sugar. The count of carbons is also helpful in the classification of sugars.
