Anomers
Stereoisomers that differ in configuration only at the anomeric carbon in cyclic saccharides.
D-Glucopyranose
The cyclic form of glucose, a six-membered ring (pyranose) structure, where the hydroxyl group at carbon 1 is in the same orientation as the CH2OH moiety.
Stereochemistry
The study of the spatial arrangements of atoms in molecules and the impact of these arrangements on the physical and chemical properties of those molecules.
