Am sorry if you din't do chemistry because you won't understand this post clearly, Let me just explain a little Isomerism exist in many chemical compounds, likewise in glucose, the is a form of optical Isomerism that occurs in some organic compounds e.g like sugar Dextro-rotation and levo-rotation , what this picture actually represent is that glucose is actually the Devo-rotation type that we commonly buy but it has another optical rotation of Levo-rotation, the Levo-rotation known as L-glucose is actually 50% expensive than gold, it can be used for the treatment of diabetics

Impulse80:in the study of enzymes of lock and key hypothesis which describes the specific substrate on which enzymes binds to, the is also some another hypothesis known as the induced hypothesis however explains in the presence of another substrate the enzymes assumes a configuration in other to fit a new form of key to it substrate and assume a new shape entirely Sorry I cnt explain further dan dis for nw am watching carnival calabar nw, if u dnt understand me jst quote d post I will explain better wen am bck homr 1 Like |

harrysterol: Are you a biochemist? here's what i found: L-Glucose does not occur naturally in higher living organisms, but can be synthesized in the laboratory. L-Glucose is indistinguishable in taste from D-glucose, but cannot be used by living organisms as source of energy because it cannot be phosphorylated by hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolysis pathway. One of the known exceptions is in Burkholderia caryophylli, a plant pathogenic bacterium, which contains the enzyme D- threo-aldose dehydrogenase which is capable of oxidizing L-glucose Uses L-Glucose was once proposed as a low-calorie sweetener and it is suitable for patients with diabetes mellitus, but it was never marketed due to excessive manufacturing costs. The acetate derivative of L-glucose, L-glucose pentaacetate , was found to stimulate insulin release, and might therefore be of therapeutic value for type 2 diabetes . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-Glucose |

Impulse80:I did biochemistry courses while in school, bt I studied biotechnology, that wat I said b4 nw dt L-glucose n D-glucose are optical isomers of each other, L-glucose is 50% mre costly than gold because of it importance for diabetics treatment, and is not naturally synthesised neither is it common to find |
