Haworth Projection: Depicting Carbohydrate Stereochemistry
The Haworth projection of D-galactose is a representation of its three-dimensional structure. It is used to depict the chair conformation of the molecule, showing the relative positions of its hydroxyl groups. By utilizing this projection, stereochemistry of D-galactose can be effectively described. The Haworth projection is particularly useful in understanding the formation of glycosidic bonds … Read more
