Summary Introduction
Toreview:
The sugar formed by epimerization of galactose molecule.
Introduction:
Epimers are a pair of stereoisomersthat are related due to the difference in configuration at a single chiral center (also called asymmetric carbon). The process of chemically converting a compound into its epimer is called epimerization.
