Thank your for the clear tutorial ! please correct me if i'm wrong. when you say [05:30] : when i draw Alpha, it (OH) goes down, and Beta, it goes Up. this work only for D-glucose, for L-glucose it's the opposite. the position of your OH on the first carbon depends on the position of the carbon 5. if you want an alpha, then put your carbon's 1 OH at the same side of the carbon's 5 OH if you want a Beta, then put your carbon's 1's OH at the opposite side of the carbon's 5 OH

[@roadallowance]

The definition of an alpha anomer is that in the Fisher projection the OH at C1 is on the same side as the OH that defines the structure as D or L. The beta anomer is the opposite - in any sugar. This is when the ring is drawn to continue to the backbone up from C1. Also, the name Haworth is pronounced with a short a sound (not Hayworth).

This was so helpful! One question: If the carbons are numbered by priority for the D glucose molecule, how come for the D furanose carbon 2 is doubled bonded to an oxygen? Wouldn't that be highest priority?

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

The chain is numbered from the direction of the carbonyl, however the end of the chain still gets a number 1 making the carbonyl the lowest possible number on the chain (in this case #2 rather than #5)

[@abhijeetbaliga5198]

How to recognize if a compound is D or L by looking at the Haworth projection?

[@lenaalsaleem3769]

abhijeet baliga If the CH2OH is up then it's a D-sugar, if it's down it will be a L-sugar. But most sugars in nature are D-sugars.

[@progress360infra5]

thanks to both of you

[@alaataha1558]

Note that when when assigning alpha or beta it dependent on the CH2OH too, meaning if the hydroxyl on the anomeric carbon points in the same direction as the CH2OH its a beta (since most sugars are D we kind off generalize and say up is beta but just watch out for that.)

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

Take a look at what happens to that specific carbon and OH group when converting from Fischer to a ring. Notice that on D the CH2OH points up, while on L it points down

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

You're very welcome! Glad it helped!

[@agent475816]

Is it safe to say that if it's a D-sugar, the CH2OH group points up and if it's a L-sugar, it points down?

[@NishantGogna]

Yes, that's what I gathered too.

[@dpsthastha2242]

agent475816 hmm D&L configuration is based on the postion of C-5 ( -OH )... if OH if right it called D form and if OH is left it is called L form...but alpha and beta configuration is based on the postion of C1 with respect to postion of C6 in cyclic structure..if c1&c6 OH are in same side it is call beta form and c1 &c6 OH are in different side it is called alpha form

[@agent475816]

Yea, but I'm saying in the ring form, if the CH2OH group is pointing up, it's always a D-sugar and if it's down, it's a L-sugar. It doesn't matter whether it's alpha or beta.

[@lenaalsaleem3769]

Hmmm it's easier to determine the CH2OH whether it's up or down depending on the D and L configuration. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for mentioning that, I will depend on it. I see it's right.

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

That is correct!

[@shalis2000]

how do you know that the OH on 5 is the one that attacks? Your videos are soo helpful. Thank you!

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

I'm so glad to hear that my videos are helping you! We know that 6-membered rings are the MOST stable kind of ring structures and have minimal bond strain. By having the OH on carbon 5 attack, we form a stable, 6-membered ring.

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

You tell ME based on what I show you here :) What do you think?

[@Rebecca-nq4nw]

might be a stupid question but why is OH written as HO sometimes? I dont really understand that one

[@Leah4sciMCAT]

It can be written as HO to show that it is the oxygen that is bonded to the main carbon chain of the Fischer projection. It simply shows us a bit more about the connectivity of the molecule.

[@yoyoyeahyeah7995]

So with six membered ring, we can convert a linear projection, into haworth projection and then into chair conformation. But if we get given a five membered ring like the one in the video, we can convert it into haworth projection but can we convert it into Chair Conformation????

[@Leah4sciMCAT]
