beta-D-Glucose

D-Glucose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in plants, is the primary energy source for living organisms. It is utilized as a metabolic intermediate by cells for either aerobic or anaerobic respiration. D-Glucose exists in two cyclic forms, alpha-D-glucose and beta-D-glucose, based on the position of the substituent at the anomeric center. alpha-D-Glucose is the monomer unit in starch, whereas beta-D-glucose is the monomer unit in cellulose. When one of these anomers is added to solution, it undergoes reversible epimerization to the other via an open-chain form, during which the specific rotation of the solution changes gradually until it reaches equilibrium. The existence of multiple binding modes of this single monosaccharide has been studied as a model scaffold to design compounds with increased probability of ligand binding.Formal Name: beta-D-glucopyranose.
