Chapter 8: Q8P. (page 243)

The metabolism of monosaccharides yields phosphorylated sugars such as β-D-fructose-6-phosphate. Draw its structure.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The structure of β-D-fructose-6-phosphate is drawn as shown below:

Step by step solution

01

Formation of Fructose-6-phosphate.

Fructose-6-phosphate is produced by isomerisation of glucose-6-phosphate in the glycolysis metabolic pathway.

02

Draw the structure of β-D-fructose-6-phosphate.

Fructose-6-phosphate is a derivative of fructose obtained by phosphorylation at 6, hydroxy group. It has beta configuration at anomeric position. It is found very commonly in the cells.

Draw the sketch of β-D-fructose-6-phosphate as shown below:
