Name of Rhamnose

edit

The name of rhamnose can be found also here if anybody disputes the R/S nomenclature. --Kupirijo 11:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have thought about it and I think the anonymous user might be right. The NIH website might be wrong since the carbon atom connected to the oxygen of the oxane ring has priority over the other carbon atom that is connected to an oxygen of a hydroxy group, so when you have to turn the hydroxyl group clockwise and you get an R conformation. Very tricky! So I think I will change it back to (3R,4R,5R,6S)-6-methyloxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol --Kupirijo 12:06, 15 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Uses

edit

I had to read this section a few times to understand its relevance to rhamnose. Wouldn't specific ethnopharmaceutical preparations be better placed in the articles of the plants described? Much of the text of this section is identical to text in the Uncaria articles. DDennisM (talk) 21:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Article desperately in need of attention.

Entire relevance of rhamnose in bacterial cell wall biosynthesis omitted. Start from scratch on this, using some other major cell wall constiuent article as a guide. Wikification also needed. Prof D.98.193.10.59 (talk) 03:34, 13 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Why does "rhamnopyranosyl" redirect here?

Also, are "rhamnopyranose" and "rhamnopyranoside" identical synonyms for this, or is there any difference in meaning? Equinox (talk) 07:00, 19 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
