  1. Tetrose

    A tetrose is a monosaccharide with 4 carbon atoms. They have either an aldehyde functional group in position 1 or a ketone functional group in position 2. ⁕ D-Erythrose ⁕ D-Threose ⁕ D-Erythrulose The aldotetroses have two chiral centers 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. Again, only the D enantiomer is naturally occurring.
