Draw a Fischer projection of L-fucose. L-Fucose is the 6-deoxy form of which L-hexose?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diagram is drawn as shown below. L-Fucose is the 6-deoxy form of L-galactose.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction of Fucose

Fucose is a hexose deoxy sugar. It serves as fundamental sub unit in fucoidan polysaccharide present in sea weeds. Fucose containing glycans have series of crucial functions such as blood transfusion reaction, host microbe interaction, and various ontogenic events.
