A heptose is a monosaccharide with seven carbon atoms. They have either an aldehyde functional group in position 1 or a ketone functional group in position 2, 3 or 4. Ketoheptoses have 4 chiral centers, whereas aldoheptoses have 5.
What are examples of Heptose?
- sedoheptulose or D-altro-heptulose (a ketose), an intermediate in the Calvin cycle and in lipid A biosynthesis.
- mannoheptulose (a ketose), found in avocadoes.
- L-glycero-D-manno-heptose (an aldose), a late intermediate in lipid A biosynthesis.
What is a Ketoheptose?
ketoheptose. Definition : A heptose with a (potential) ketone group at the 2-position. heptose. Definition : A seven-carbon monosaccharide which in its linear form contains either an aldehyde group at position 1 (aldoheptose) or a ketone group at position 2 (ketoheptose).
