Monosaccharides
Chemistry and biochemistry of monosaccharides and disaccharides.
Monosaccharides (sugars) are organic chemical compounds and the most basic unit of carbohydrates. A disaccharide is a sugar composed of two monosaccharides.
With Sugar, we first of all connect the sweet-tasting table sugar - a double sugar called sucrose. Chemically the monosaccharides (simple sugars) form the basic building blocks of the carbohydrates. Same or different monosaccharides can combine to disaccharides (double sugars of two simple sugars), oligosaccharides (complex sugars) or polysaccharides (multiple sugars). They are the basis of the great diversity in carbohydrate chemistry.
Below you will find online available information and information sources to monosaccharides and disaccharides.
