Construct a 3D molecule model of scyllo-inositol (myo-inositol) from Genuine Molymod Components by Indigo.
Scyllo-inositol is one of nine stereoisomers of a chemical compound with the familiar formula of C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>. It is essentially a cyclohexane ring with 6 alcohol groups & has been found in deep sea organisms. It is believed to act as a protein stabilizer or piezolyte & may have potential uses as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease. For additional reading pertaining to deep sea organisms, see Scientific American, April 2014.
