Nonose
A nonose is a monosaccharide with nine carbons.[1][2]
Nonoses types
Depending on the position of the functional groups, a distinction is made between ketononoses and aldononoses.
Aldononoses have seven
hydroxyl groups or the asymmetric carbon
atom. Ketononoses have six chiral centers, which gives the possibility of 64 different possible stereoisomers.
