The Indigo® AtoMag™ magnetic glucose molecular model can quickly show all the enantiomers & structural isomers of glucose. It's an invaluable tool for organic chemistry professors who want to make cyclohexane relevant to their biology students. This versatile magnetic model can switch from D to L glucose or galactose or mannose et al in the blink of an eye. Use the Indigo® 3D Molecular Model Builder to show all the possible variants.

You can build an Indigo® AtoMag™ glucose model with our 62053SP Molymod Student Organic Chemistry Model Set as well as add hydrogens. The two 5x5mm N42 neodymium rod magnets per tetrahedral carbon & oxygen atom are sold separately & need installation.

Watch the Indigo® AtoMag™ cyclohexane do the best chair-boat flip of any model. Like the cyclohexane model, the palm size magnetic glucose you can actually feel the difference between the stable chair & unstable boat conformation.

Hexose Name Type / Class Relationship to D-Glucose Primary Occurrence / Biological Significance
D-Aldohexoses (C?H??O? with Aldehyde at C-1)
D-Glucose Aldohexose Reference Molecule Primary cellular energy source; component of maltose, lactose, and sucrose.
D-Mannose Aldohexose C-2 Epimer Crucial for glycoprotein synthesis (N-linked glycosylation).
D-Allose Aldohexose C-3 Epimer Rare sugar found in specific plants; investigated for anti-cancer/anti-oxidative traits.
D-Galactose Aldohexose C-4 Epimer Component of lactose (milk sugar); essential for glycolipids and glycoproteins.
L-Idose (D-Idose series) Aldohexose C-5 Epimer (of D-form -> L-idose) Iduronic acid (derived from idose) is a major component of glycosaminoglycans (heparin).
D-Altrose Aldohexose C-2, C-3 Diastereomer Rare monosaccharide; an unnatural aldohexose in most metabolic pathways.
D-Gulose Aldohexose Diastereomer Synthetic or extremely rare naturally occurring sugar with a sweet taste.
D-Talose Aldohexose C-2 Epimer of D-Galactose Rare aldohexose found in certain bacterial polysaccharides.
D-Ketohexoses (C?H??O? with Ketone at C-2)
D-Fructose Ketohexose Structural Isomer Abundant in fruits and honey; component of sucrose; key energy substrate.
D-Psicose (Allulose) Ketohexose C-3 Epimer of Fructose Zero/low-calorie rare sugar sweetener naturally found in small quantities.
D-Sorbose Ketohexose Diastereomer Industrial intermediate used primarily in the commercial synthesis of Vitamin C.
D-Tagatose Ketohexose C-4 Epimer of Fructose Low-calorie bulk sweetener derived from lactose, used in foods and beverages.
