A community's members are a rich source of knowledge about their community and of energy and commitment to that community. When public health professionals envision a program to address health issues in a particular community, tapping into the community's expertise and enthusiasm is frequently an essential issue.
1 The two forms are sometimes described as  anomers  since they are isomers at the anomeric center. 2  To assign the cyclic form of a carbohydrate as the Î±- or Î²- form look at the relative positions of the-CH 2 OH group and-OH (or-OR) group at the anomeric center. In the Î²- form, the exocyclic O group at the anomeric center is on the same face as the-CH 2 OH group. 2  If a mixture of the Î±- and Î²- anomers are present, then this is often represented by using a wavy line to represent the bond:
Examine the structural formulas for glucose, fructose, and galactose. Note that they are all isomers of each other (i.e. they have the chemical formula C6H12O6). Glucose and galactose are structural isomers of fructose, while glucose and galactose are. diastereomers. (a type of stereoisomer).
