E.g. during nucleophilic attack of MgATP by glucose catalyzed by Hexokinase. I've never read anything about it being an acid i.e. electron acceptor. Really need a citation for that part of the article. Any thoughts? </p><p>--- </p><p>Of these, only three occur in nature: D-glucose, D-galactose, and D-mannose. </p><p>Of these D isomers all, except altrose, are naturally occurring. No L isomers are found naturally. </p><p>I found this two sentences in the article, in the same Aldohexoses section.

Later I realized that I should have cited a source for the statement that it is due to <a href="/wiki/Hermann_Emil_Fischer" class="mw-redirect" title="Hermann Emil Fischer">Hermann Emil Fischer</a>, so I searched for it online and found that the same mnemonic exists on thise page too. Then it became evident that an Aldohexose section already exists here, and contains essentially the same material as the Aldohexose page itself. Seems like the Aldohexose page should simply redirect to Hexose#Aldohexose, but I'm new around here and not sure how things work, so I proposed a merger instead. <a href="/wiki/User:Bbi5291"

id="c-Polar_Apposite-20221212225700-Ketohexoses_section_problems."></span>The fructose Fischer projection differs from the others in not having a letter "C" depicting the carbon double bonded to the oxygen. This is a distracting inconsistency that could even cause confusion. </p><p>The citation on the D-psicose Fischer projection seems (I took a few minutes to scroll down through the whole gigantic data-stuffed page) not to contain the Fischer projection shown. </p><p>It says, "Below are depiction of the eight isomers in an alternative style:", but wouldn't it be better to say instead what style of depiction (Natta projection?) they are in? </p><p>Last, but not least, it's far from straightforward to understand how these Natta (?) projections relate to the Fischer projections, and I think someone should add an explanation. It's awesome that the reader can compare the two, but it's extremely puzzling that D-psicose has its hydroxyls all on the right in the Fischer projection, whereas in the Natta projection the hydroxyls are neither all on the same side, nor all sticking up out of the page. I speculated that what they have in common in the Natta projection is all being on the anticlockwise side when the eye is facing the end of the molecule, imagined in three dimensions, that is nearest the double bonded oxygen, but I couldn't get further than that. Many readers will have the same experience, or will not even get as far as I did. </p><p>Also, shouldn't there be either an analogous (to the awesome aldohexose section) set of binary numbers, and perhaps a mnemonic for the four names, or if not, a reason for why there are no binary numbers needed? <a href="/wiki/User:Polar_Apposite" title="User:Polar Apposite">Polar Apposite</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Polar_Apposite" title="User talk:Polar Apposite">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hexose#c-Polar_Apposite-20221212225700-Ketohexoses_section_problems." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:57, 12 December 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Polar_Apposite-20221212225700-Ketohexoses_section_problems."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span><!--__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221212225700","author":"Polar Apposite","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Polar_Apposite-20221212225700-Ketohexoses_section_problems.","replies":[]}}--></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Polar_Apposite-20221212225700-Ketohexoses_section_problems."></span> </p> <!-- NewPP limit report Parsed by mw‐web.codfw.main‐697b7966c5‐6b9jn Cached time: 20241126194226 Cache expiry: 864000 Reduced expiry: true Complications: [vary‐revision‐sha1, show‐toc] DiscussionTools time usage: 0.009 seconds CPU time usage: 0.142 seconds Real time usage: 0.176 seconds Preprocessor visited node count: 351/1000000 Post‐expand include size: 14617/2097152 bytes Template argument size: 20/2097152 bytes Highest expansion depth: 7/100 Expensive parser function count: 4/500 Unstrip recursion depth: 0/20 Unstrip post‐expand size: 10511/5000000 bytes Lua time usage: 0.095/10.000 seconds Lua memory usage: 1689311/52428800 bytes Number of Wikibase entities loaded: 0/400 --> <!-- Transclusion expansion time report (%,ms,calls,template) 100.00% 134.466 1 -total 82.87% 111.426 1 Template:WikiProject_banner_shell 42.59% 57.273 1 Template:WikiProject_Molecular_Biology 17.05% 22.922 1 Template:Technical 13.93% 18.729 1 Template:Ambox --> <!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:9531821:|#|:idhash:canonical and timestamp 20241126194226 and revision id 1202696721.
