Glyceraldehyde

Construct a chemical structure model of Glyceraldehyde out of Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo

Glyceraldehyde is a simple 3 carbon aldose sugar and is a biochemical intermediate in glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose. It has two stereoisomers, L-glyceraldehyde & D-glyceraldehyde, of which the structure of the latter is more common. Glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde & two hydroxy functional groups.

A molecular model of Glyceraldehyde in the Molymod Hybrid Dome style uses the atoms & bonds in the parts list below. Our free 3D Molecular Model Builder shows other styles & allows for image rotation as an assembly guide.
