Aldoses derivatives, nomenclature

Aldoses polyhydroxyaldehydes, one of the two main subdivisions of the monosaccharides (the other is the ketoses see Carbohydrates). A. are characterized by a terminal aldehyde group -CHO, which is always given the number 1 in systematic nomenclature. The A. are formally derived from their simplest representative, glyceraldehyde, by chain extension. According to the number of carbon atoms in their chain, they are classified as trioses, tetroses, etc. The pentoses and hexoses are particularly important metaboli-cally. [Pg.23]
