Carbohydrates


Introduction


Carbohydrates play an important role in living matter Furthermore, techniques in biochemistry and biology rely very much on carbohydrates. Many modern separation techniques (chromatography, electrophoresis) are based on cellulose, dextran, agarose etc. as supporting materials, some of which are in a chemically modified form. Nutrients for microorganisms are very often based on carbohydrates as the carbon source. Mono- and oligosaccharides are stabilizing additives for enzymes and components in isotonic solutions - to name but a few applications.

For applications requiring highest quality products, we offer a range of BioChemika Ultra standard precipitation reagents.

Structure


Structure of the Most Important Monosaccharides

HPB Aldolase


D-Aldoses
Structures of the D-aldoses drawn in the Fischer projection. The structures of the L-aldoses can be derived from the D-form by inversion of all asymmetric centers, i.e. exchange of positions of OH and H at the asymmetric centers.
