Atomic numbering and structure of the molecules of α- and β-lactose. The notation of atoms Xin is such that X = C, O; i = 1, 2 for molecules α- and β-lactose, respectively; n is the number of the atom; unprimed atoms correspond to the galactose unit, primed atoms to the glucose unit. Dashed lines correspond to intramolecular hydrogen bonds. |
