Any sugar that man has discovered has two configurations(Enantiomers). One is called the "Dextro" (D) confermation which when checking its optical activity, rotates light clockwise. The other form is called "Levo" (L) which when checking its optical activity rotates the light anti-clockwise. This is so important in because mainly the enzymes in our body are Levo (Meaning that they only act on "Levo" substrates) so if you give the patient Dextro substrate it wont be hydrolyzed by the enzyme.
NB:Enantiomers mean that the 2 compounds (Dextro and Levo compounds) are "mirror image" to each other.

What do you understand by D and L forms of mono saccharides?
D and L forms of monosaccharides refer to the configuration of the highest-numbered chiral carbon in a sugar molecule. In the D form, the hydroxyl group on the highest-numbered chiral carbon is on the right side, while in the L form, it is on the left side. The designation of D or L does not indicate the direction of optical rotation.
What is the sugar content in red wines?
Depends. Most still red wines (Cabernet, Merlot, etc.) have 0 grams of sugar per liter (g/l). However, fortified red wines (dessert wines, port, etc.) have residual sugar, from 110g/l to 220g/l. In comparison, most grocery store Riesling has about 10g/l of sugar.

What do you meant by sugar pucker?
Sugar is added to nucleotides in DNA formation. How the sugar binds in the helix formation determines the tightness of the helix, so it will be A form or B form. A form is more condensed and has the feature of sugar pucker.
