Carbohydrate Structure Aldohexoses and Ketohexoses

The video tutorial covers the cyclization of carbohydrates, focusing on aldohexoses and ketohexoses. It explains the process of cyclization, where linear molecules form cyclic structures, and discusses the stability of different ring sizes. The tutorial also compares the cyclization of glucose and fructose, highlighting the stability of six-membered pyranose and five-membered furanose rings. The video concludes with a brief mention of the next topic, pentoses.
