Any of a group of monosaccharide sugars whose molecules contain four carbon atoms.
〔化〕四糖
Example sentencesExamples
It is envisaged that either enolate or electrophilic components of the reaction may incorporate nitrogen bearing substituents, allowing for the stereoselective introduction of N - at any position along the carbon backbone chain, giving rise sequentially to amino tetroses and hexoses.
Pentoses and tetroses are synthesized from 5-and 4-carbon backbone moieties formed by removing carbon from the 6-carbon arene moiety.
Chemically synthesized tetrose was produced by the Department of Organic Chemistry in Beijing Medical University.
The spontaneous decomposition of Amadori compounds to more reactive sugars in vivo, including tetroses, pentoses, and 3-deoxyglucosone, provides a mechanism for generating reactive intermediates under physiological conditions and for propagating damage to protein as a result of glycation of proteins by glucose in vivo.
Depending on number of carbons, monosaccharides are called trioses, tetroses, pentoses, and hexoses etc.
