Furanose, the Glossary
A furanose is a collective term for carbohydrates that have a chemical structure that includes a five-membered ring system consisting of four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.[1]

Anomer
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. Furanose and anomer are carbohydrate chemistry.
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).
Carbon
Carbon is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6.
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.
See Furanose and Chirality (chemistry)
Double bond
In chemistry, a double bond is a covalent bond between two atoms involving four bonding electrons as opposed to two in a single bond.
Furan
Furan is a heterocyclic organic compound, consisting of a five-membered aromatic ring with four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.
Haworth projection
In chemistry, a Haworth projection is a common way of writing a structural formula to represent the cyclic structure of monosaccharides with a simple three-dimensional perspective. Furanose and Haworth projection are carbohydrate chemistry.

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.
Hydroxy group
In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom.
See Furanose and Hydroxy group
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. Furanose and mutarotation are carbohydrate chemistry.
Oxygen
Oxygen is a chemical element; it has symbol O and atomic number 8.
Pentose
In chemistry, a pentose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar) with five carbon atoms.
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). Furanose and pyranose are carbohydrate chemistry.
