Tetrose information


In organic chemistry, a tetrose is a monosaccharide with 4 carbon atoms. They have either an aldehyde (−CH=O) functional group in position 1 (aldotetroses) or a ketone (>C=O) group in position 2 (ketotetroses).[1][2]

The aldotetroses have two chiral centers (asymmetric carbon atoms) and so 4 different stereoisomers are possible. There are two naturally occurring stereoisomers, the enantiomers of erythrose and threose having the D configuration but not the L enantiomers. The ketotetroses have one chiral center and, therefore, two possible stereoisomers: erythrulose (L- and D-form). Again, only the D enantiomer is naturally occurring.
