Glucose Enantiomers
SKU: 68845NV
Building models of glucose isomers is a practical way to understand stereochemistry. Glucose has 16 possible stereoisomers in linear form & 32 ring forms. These include galactose, maltose & others, all of which can take on chair & boat conformations similar to cyclohexane. This is especially of interest to biologists/biochemists since it shows the importance of chemical structure as it relates enzyme specificity.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) atoms & bonds for over 30 years. These parts are compatible with every student & teacher molecular model set we have sold since day 1. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
