A simple explanation on the process of cyclization of glucose
In this video, A simple explanation on the process of cyclization of glucose (from Sir ML's Biology), we take a look at the process of cyclization of the Fischer projection of glucose into the Haworth projection of glucose, that is, how can we convert the straight or linear chain or open form of D glucose into the ring form. This video will show how cyclization of d glucose into alpha d glucose and beta d glucose occurs.
