The diagram illustrates naturally occurring D-glucose and a glucose form that may be made in a laboratory, called L-glucose. The enzyme glucose oxidase catalyses the oxidation of D-glucose. The enzyme is unable to catalyse the oxidation of L-glucose. Which statement about L-glucose accounts for this?
- AL-glucose does not fit into the active site of glucose oxidase.
- BL-glucose has a different structural formula to D-glucose.
- CL-glucose is a synthetic sugar.
- DL-glucose is the mirror image of D-glucose.
