Aldohexose Configurations
Three configurational representations of aldohexoses are
commonly used. In this exercise the eight D-aldohexoses provide
examples. Select one of these from the following list. You may
then display one of the configurations by selecting a format from
the choices beneath the windows and pressing the "Choose Format"
button. Try to modify one of the two remaining generic drawings
by using the drawing tools. Be sure to change the drawing format
to the new representation you have chosen. Leave the anomeric
site in the Haworth display unspecified (as drawn). It is colored
green in the Jmol model.
Your answer will be evaluated by clicking the "Check Answer"
button. All three configurational representations may then be
viewed by clicking the "Show Configurations" button.
