glucopyranose
Noun
Meaning
glucopyranose (plural glucopyranoses)
(biochemistry) The pyranose form of glucose
Examples
Elimination of specific hydroxyl groups on the glucopyranose moiety does not completely eliminate catalysis.
The glucopyranose forms of glucose predominate in solution, and are the only forms observed in the solid state.
Thus, for example, the term "glucose" may signify glucofuranose, glucopyranose, the open-chain form, or a mixture of the three.
