The sugars which can be related structurally to glyceraldehyde in this way are all
termed aldoses, and the asymmetric centres exhibit a form of stereoisomerism
termed epimerism. A similar series of sugars, termed ketoses, can be derived
from ...

D-L stereoisomerism, epimerism and anomerism are different forms of
stereoisomerism in monosaccharides. Optical isomerism When ordinary light,-
consisting of rays vibrating in many different planes, passes through a Nicol
prism or a ...
(v) Epimerism : Due to the difference in orientation of H atom and OH group
around a single asymmetric carbon other than the anomeric one develops
epimerism. Epimerism also contributes to the optical activity of a monosaccharide

Epimerism. When two monosaccharides differ from each other in their
configuration with respect to a single carbon atom other than the reference
carbon atom, then they are referred to as epimers.

In carbohydrates the term epimerism is restricted to sugar which differ only in
orientation of the groups attached to carbon atom next to the potential aldehyde
group of the sugar. Thus glucose and mannose are epimers. ] Topic on Zoology ...
