Glyceraldehyde isomer models
Glyceraldehyde isomer models. Molecular models of the two isomeric forms of glyceraldehyde. D- glyceraldehyde (left) has a hydroxyl group (OH) on the right side of the asymmetric carbon atom, whereas L-glyceraldehyde has an OH group on the left side. Carbon atoms are black, oxygen atoms are red, and hydrogen atoms are white. Glyceraldehyde is a sweet, colourless, crystalline solid. It is an intermediate compound in carbohydrate metabolism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the molecular models of two isomeric forms of glyceraldehyde, a crucial compound in carbohydrate metabolism. The left side depicts D-glyceraldehyde, distinguished by a hydroxyl group (OH) positioned on the right side of its asymmetric carbon atom. On the other hand, L-glyceraldehyde is represented on the right side with an OH group located on its left side. The intricate structure highlights carbon atoms in black, oxygen atoms in red, and hydrogen atoms in white. These colors vividly portray the composition of this sweet and colorless crystalline solid. The image not only captures the beauty of organic chemistry but also emphasizes how these isomers differ at a molecular level. By utilizing ball-and-stick models to represent bonds between compounds and atoms, it provides a visually appealing representation for scientific study. Science enthusiasts will appreciate this photograph's ability to convey complex concepts through visual means. It serves as a valuable educational tool for students studying organic chemistry or anyone interested in understanding more about glyceraldehyde and its role within metabolic processes. This print from Science Photo Library exemplifies their commitment to providing high-quality images that facilitate scientific exploration while showcasing the inherent beauty found within our natural world.
