This molecular model kit includes enough parts to build both glucose and galactose. Use our 3D Model Builder to show a rotatable version of this molecule & the list of parts needed.

Build molecular models of galactose & glucose simultaneously to compare the similarity in structures between these 2 sugars.

Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Molymod atoms & bonds for 30+ years. These parts are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may seem expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.

Details

Compare the structures shown to that of the alpha/beta glucose models. Galactose is slightly different and it requires the enzyme galactase to convert it to glucose before it can be used. Glucose and galactose, when combined, form lactose, or milk sugar. Click on the link to see lactose.

You can also build similar models in the Orbit style with our 68799W Glucose Molecule Structure Models Kit.

I purchased this set as a gift so can only say recipient (my grandson) is very pleased. I have been dealing with Chris Bingleman for the past three years to find the appropriate gifts. He has gone above and beyond with the service he has given to me. It is always a pleasure to speak with him.. Carla Wallace
