enzyme-substrate complexes (e.g., during the hydrolysis
of polysaccharides, catalyzed by the enzyme lysozyme;
see Chapter 11 ).
D-Fructose, a ketohexose, can potentially form either a
five-membered (furanose) or a six-membered (pyranose)
ring involving formation of an internal hemiketal link-
age between C
2
(the anomeric carbon atom) and the C
5
or
C(,
hydroxyl group, respectively. The hemiketal link-
age introduces a new asymmetrical center at the C
2
po-
sition. Thus, two anomeric forms of each of the fructo-
furanose and fructopyranose ring structures are possible
(Figure 9-10). In aqueous solution at equilibrium, fructose
is present predominantly in the /
1
-fructopyranose form.
However, when fructose is linked with itself or with other
sugars or when it is phosphorylated, it assumes the fu-
ranose form. Fructose 1,
6
-bisphosphate is present in the
/3-fructofuranose form, with a 4:1 ratio of
fi
-to a-anomeric
forms.
Fructose is a major constituent (38%) of honey ; the other
constituents are glucose (31%), water (17%), maltose (a
glucose disaccharide, 7%), sucrose (a glucose-fructose
disaccharide, 1
%), and polysaccharide (1 %). The variabil-
ity of these sugars in honey from different sources is quite
large.
Sugars that contain a carbonyl functional group are
reducing agents. Therefore, an oxidizing agent (e.g.,
