When the stereo isomers (sugars) differing in the orientation of H+ and OH– groups in a
single ‘C’ atom they are called epimers.
Example: Glucose and galactose are epimers at 4th ‘C’ atom. Because they differ in the spatial
configuration of OH and H at 4th ‘C’ atom. Similarly glucose and mannose are epimers of 2nd ‘C’ atom.
