Chapter 20, Problem 20.80P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

If a conformation of beta-D-glucose in which all the equatorial positions are occupied by hydrogens to be stable than the one in which all equatorial positions are occupied by atoms larger than hydrogen should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Within biochemistry, a conformational change is the change within the macromolecule’s shape, often induced through the environmental variables. It might alter its shape in reply to the alteration in its environment or the other variables. Each probable shape is recognized as conformation and the transition amid them is known as conformational change.
