GlcFru
Glc-Fru, also known as fructoglucose, is a disaccharide composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose linked together. The linkage between these two monosaccharides can vary, but it is typically an alpha-1,2 glycosidic bond. This specific linkage is characteristic of sucrose, a common sugar found in plants. While the term "Glc-Fru" can broadly refer to any combination of glucose and fructose, it is most commonly used in scientific contexts to denote the structure of sucrose or a similar isomer.
In biological systems, Glc-Fru plays a significant role as an energy source. Sucrose, for example, is a
The sweetness of Glc-Fru is attributed to the presence of fructose, which is sweeter than glucose. This
