Maltose, molecular formula C12H22O11, is a disaccharide consisting of two glucose subunits. The principle isomer of maltose is 4-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-glucose of which both glucoses are the alpha form. Maltobiose or malt sugar is 4-O-alpha-D-Glucopyranosyl-beta-D-glucopyranose which is made up of alpha & beta glucoses. You can use our 3D Model Builder to view & compare both forms of this molecule.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
You can also build fructose with our advanced student organic chemistry model set or the class organic chemistry model set. The class biochemistry model set builds the linear version of fructose in the Orbit x-peg style.
You can build any 6 carbon sugar ring with our AtoMag magnetic molecular model. Quickly change the position of any oxygen atom to show different structural isomers; magnetic hydrogens are optional. If you buy two, you can build any disaccharide.
