α- glucose and β- glucose are two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose which differ only in the configuration of hydroxyl group (-OH) at anomeric carbon. Such isomers are called anomers. The six-membered cyclic structure of glucose is called pyranose structure. α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose are stereoisomers, they differ in 3-dimensional configuration of atoms/groups at one or more positions.Anomers are capable of interconverting in solution. All cyclic structures of monosaccharides exhibit anomeric α (down) and β(up) versions. These differences occur at the anomeric acetal carbon (the only carbon with two C−O bonds.
