How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?
Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
How many stereoisomers for muscarine?
muscarine has three stereocenters (aka chirality centers) therefore: 2^3=8 in conclusion, muscarine can have 8 stereoisomers.
What is a conformer and is it a structural isomer?
Stereoisomers are isomeric molecules that have the exact same molecular formula, but a different three dimensional position. A conformer is a set of stereoisomers.
What is the total number of pentyl alcohols including stereoisomers?
The stereoisomers is one of the alcohols present. The total number of alcohols is 11. This is not a high number as one who expect.
Are alpha and beta glucose structural isomers?
no they are not. they are stereoisomers(configurational) Structural isomers. isomers that differ in the arrangement literally. so the difference between the cylic glucose molecule that is a ring and the non ring glucose. these two are structural isomers. if molecule A and B have the same molecular formula but look different and are thus arranged differently they are structural isomers. conformational isomers. these are isomers that differ from each other simply by the rotation around a single bond. if molecule B can be twisted around the single bonds to get molecule A then A and B are conformational isomers. configurational isomers (stereoisomers). if molecules A and B do not fall into the above two categories, then they are stereoisomers. these type of isomers differ in the spatial arrangement of atoms. so if molecule A was the mirror image of molecule B then these two molecules would be a type of stereoisomers called (Enantiomers). for alpha glucose the OH group attached to the anomeric carbon is not the same as teh CH2OH group on the other side of the hemiacetal( on the other side of the ether oxygen.). ie. if the OH is axial down then the CH2OH is equatorial up. and vice versa. the molecule is beta glucose when these two substituents are the same in this aspect. both either equatorial or axial. the difference between axial and equatorial is spatial adn in the arrangement of atoms connected to the carbon ring and solely a difference in this aspect (alpha or beta) means the molecules are stereoisomers.

What is an allothreonine?
In organic chemistry, an allothreonine is one of two stereoisomers of threonine which are not usually found in nature.
Is glucose a monocharride?
Glucose, the chemical that plants produce for food, is a monosaccharide.
This molecule stores energy and uses energy it is also found in sugars starches and fiber what is it?
ATP
What are the stereoisomers in the chemical structure of baycol?
what do this mean stereoisomers mean
How many stereoisomers are in codeine?
There are 5 chirality centers, so there are 5^2 (=25) stereoisomers.
Where is glucose found in nature?
Glucose is packaged in the form of carbohydrates. If you are speaking about nutrition, you ingest carbohydrates and your liver (through a series of reactions) breaks this down to glucose for use in your muscles, fat, brain, and other tissues.
Why d glucose exist in nature?
D-glucose is obtained by photosynthesis.
Is Xanax a chiral drug?
No it is not. There are no stereoisomers
Why is a knowledge of stereoisomers important in medicine?
The Thalidomide tragedy was caused in part by a lack of knowledge of stereochemistry. One of the stereoisomers was toxic the other was not.
