Linked from

The 15 pages that link to Anomer, each with the reason it gives.

• GlucoseRelated: Ring closure creates α- and β-glucose, which interconvert in solution.

• SucroseRelated: The glucose and fructose units in sucrose have specific anomeric configurations.

• LactoseRelated: The beta configuration at galactose’s anomeric carbon distinguishes lactose’s linkage.

• CarbohydrateRelated: Anomeric configuration helps explain why some carbohydrate bonds are digestible and others are not.

• MonosaccharideRelated: Ring formation creates this additional stereochemical distinction in many monosaccharides.

• RiboseRelated: Ring closure gives ribose alpha and beta forms.

• PolysaccharideRelated: Anomeric configuration helps determine a polysaccharide’s linkage geometry.

• OligosaccharideRelated: Anomeric configuration helps determine the shape and properties of glycosidic linkages.

• Reducing sugarRelated: Anomeric configuration determines whether that carbon is available for ring opening.

• MaltoseRelated: The α designation specifies the configuration at maltose’s linked glucose anomeric carbon.

• KetoseRelated: Cyclization of a ketose creates an anomeric center with alternative configurations.

• ThreoseRelated: Ring closure creates distinct anomeric configurations in cyclic threose.

• Norman HaworthRelated: Haworth’s cyclic structures make the distinct configurations at this carbon visible.
