Antique Framed Print : Glucose isomer models
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Glucose isomer models
Glucose isomer models. Molecular models of the glucopyranose form of glucose. Glucose (C6H12O6) is a hexose sugar. Glucopyranose has a five carbon ring and an additional asymmetric carbon atom. Carbon atoms are black, hydrogen are white, and oxygen are red. The placement of the hydroxyl group (OH) determines whether the isomer is alpha or beta-glucose. Glucose is found in many plants and is a normal constituent of blood. It is widely used in the confectionary industry as a sweetener

14"x12" (36x31cm) Antique Frame
Bevelled wood effect frame, card mounted, 10x8 archival quality photo print. Overall outside dimensions 14x12 inches (36x31cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, the Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: To minimise original artwork cropping, for optimum layout, and to ensure print is secure, the visible print may be marginally smaller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular models of glucose isomers, specifically the glucopyranose form. Glucose, a hexose sugar with the chemical formula C6H12O6, plays a vital role in various biological processes. The glucopyranose structure features a five-carbon ring and an additional asymmetric carbon atom. In this image, carbon atoms are depicted as black spheres while hydrogen atoms appear as white ones and oxygen atoms are represented by red spheres. The positioning of hydroxyl groups (OH) determines whether the isomer is alpha or beta-glucose. Glucose can be found naturally in numerous plants and serves as a normal constituent of blood. Its significance extends beyond biology; it also holds great importance in the confectionery industry where it is widely used as a sweetener. The ball-and-stick model beautifully illustrates the structural complexity of glucose and its organic composition. This photograph not only highlights the elegance of chemistry but also emphasizes how molecules like glucose play fundamental roles in biochemical processes. By capturing these molecular structures with precision, Science Photo Library provides us with an opportunity to appreciate the intricacies hidden within our world at a microscopic level. It reminds us that even seemingly simple substances like sugar have complex underlying structures that contribute to their properties and functions.
