Anomer, the Glossary
In carbohydrate chemistry, a pair of anomers is a pair of near-identical stereoisomers or diastereomers that differ at only the anomeric carbon, the carbon atom that bears the aldehyde or ketone functional group in the sugar's open-chain form.[1]

Absolute configuration
Absolute configuration refers to the spatial arrangement of atoms within a chiral molecular entity (or group) and its resultant stereochemical description. Anomer and Absolute configuration are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Absolute configuration
Aldehyde
In organic chemistry, an aldehyde is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure.
Anomeric effect
In organic chemistry, the anomeric effect or Edward-Lemieux effect (after J. T. Edward and Raymond Lemieux) is a stereoelectronic effect that describes the tendency of heteroatomic substituents adjacent to a heteroatom within a cyclohexane ring to prefer the axial orientation instead of the less-hindered equatorial orientation that would be expected from steric considerations. Anomer and anomeric effect are carbohydrate chemistry and carbohydrates.
See Anomer and Anomeric effect
Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules
In organic chemistry, the Cahn–Ingold–Prelog (CIP) sequence rules (also the CIP priority convention; named after Robert Sidney Cahn, Christopher Kelk Ingold, and Vladimir Prelog) are a standard process to completely and unequivocally name a stereoisomer of a molecule. Anomer and Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules
Carbohydrate
A carbohydrate is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula (where m may or may not be different from n), which does not mean the H has covalent bonds with O (for example with, H has a covalent bond with C but not with O). Anomer and carbohydrate are carbohydrates.
Chirality (chemistry)
In chemistry, a molecule or ion is called chiral if it cannot be superposed on its mirror image by any combination of rotations, translations, and some conformational changes. Anomer and Chirality (chemistry) are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Chirality (chemistry)
Cis–trans isomerism
Cis–trans isomerism, also known as geometric isomerism, describes certain arrangements of atoms within molecules. Anomer and Cis–trans isomerism are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Cis–trans isomerism
Cyclic compound
A cyclic compound (or ring compound) is a term for a compound in the field of chemistry in which one or more series of atoms in the compound is connected to form a ring.
See Anomer and Cyclic compound
Dipole
In physics, a dipole is an electromagnetic phenomenon which occurs in two ways.
Epimer
In stereochemistry, an epimer is one of a pair of diastereomers. Anomer and epimer are stereochemistry.
Hemiacetal
In organic chemistry, a hemiacetal or a hemiketal has the general formula, where is hydrogen or an organic substituent.
Hexose
In chemistry, a hexose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with six carbon atoms.
Hydrogen bond
In chemistry, a hydrogen bond (or H-bond) is primarily an electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen (H) atom which is covalently bonded to a more electronegative "donor" atom or group (Dn), and another electronegative atom bearing a lone pair of electrons—the hydrogen bond acceptor (Ac).
Ketone
In organic chemistry, a ketone is an organic compound with the structure, where R and R' can be a variety of carbon-containing substituents.
Mannose
Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates.
Melting point
The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid.
Monosaccharide nomenclature
Monosaccharide nomenclature is the naming system of the building blocks of carbohydrates, the monosaccharides, which may be monomers or part of a larger polymer. Anomer and monosaccharide nomenclature are carbohydrate chemistry and carbohydrates.
See Anomer and Monosaccharide nomenclature
Mutarotation
In stereochemistry, mutarotation is the change in optical rotation of a chiral material in a solution due to a change in proportion of the two constituent anomers (i.e. the interconversion of their respective stereocenters) until equilibrium is reached. Anomer and mutarotation are carbohydrate chemistry, carbohydrates and stereochemistry.
Open-chain compound
In chemistry, an open-chain compound (or open chain compound) or acyclic compound (Greek prefix α 'without' and κύκλος 'cycle') is a compound with a linear structure, rather than a cyclic one.
See Anomer and Open-chain compound
Optical rotation
Optical rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about the optical axis of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials. Anomer and optical rotation are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Optical rotation
Polarimetry
Polarimetry is the measurement and interpretation of the polarization of transverse waves, most notably electromagnetic waves, such as radio or light waves.
Pyranose
In organic chemistry, pyranose is a collective term for saccharides that have a chemical structure that includes a six-membered ring consisting of five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom (a heterocycle). Anomer and pyranose are carbohydrate chemistry.
Ratio
In mathematics, a ratio shows how many times one number contains another.
See Anomer and Ratio
Reducing sugar
A reducing sugar is any sugar that is capable of acting as a reducing agent. Anomer and reducing sugar are carbohydrate chemistry and carbohydrates.
Rotation
Rotation or rotational motion is the circular movement of an object around a central line, known as axis of rotation.
Specific rotation
In chemistry, specific rotation is a property of a chiral chemical compound. Anomer and specific rotation are stereochemistry.
See Anomer and Specific rotation
Stereochemistry
Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation.
See Anomer and Stereochemistry
Stereoisomerism
In stereochemistry, stereoisomerism, or spatial isomerism, is a form of isomerism in which molecules have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the three-dimensional orientations of their atoms in space. Anomer and stereoisomerism are stereochemistry.
