Question

Draw the structures of D-glyceraldehyde and L-glyceraldehyde. Explain
the difference between them with reference to optical activity.​

Answer 1

D-glyceraldehyde And L-glyceraldehyde

Explanation:

1. The chemical formula of  Glyceraldehyde is C₃H₆O₃.it is a triose monosaccharide. It is the most straightforward of every basic aldose.
2. It is a sweet, boring, crystalline strong that is a middle compound in starch digestion.  

D-glyceraldehyde -

• Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (contracted as GAPDH or less usually as G3PDH) is a chemical of ~37kDa that catalyzes the 6th step of glycolysis and accordingly serves to separate glucose for vitality and carbon particles.  
• It is triose monosaccharide with synthetic equation and the chemical formula is C3H6O3. It is the easiest of every single normal aldose. It is a sweet boring crystalline strong that is a transitional compound in starch digestion.

L-glyceraldehyde-

• The chemical formula is C₃H₆O₃.
• It is  triose monosaccharide. It is the least complex of every basic aldose.
• It is a crystalline strong and sweet ,or dull  that is a middle of the road compound in sugar digestion.  
• D-glyceraldehyde is spoken to with the hydroxyl bunch in the lopsided carbon set to one side and the l-glyceraldehyde, with the hydroxyl.
