Answer 1

Yes, L-glucose also has α and β anomers.

Explanation:

Yes, L-glucose also has α and β anomers.

The structures of the α and β anomers of D-glucose are

Note that in the α isomer the `"OH"` on `"C-1"` is on the side opposite to the `"CH"_2"OH"` group ("down").

In the β isomer, the `"OH"` on `"C-1"` is on the same side as the `"CH"_2"OH"` group ("up").

In L-glucose, all the orientations are reversed.

What was "up" becomes "down", and what was "down" becomes "up".

F or example, α L-glucose is

and β L-glucose is

(From web.pdx.edu)

Note that the definitions of α and β stay the same.

α is still opposite to the `"CH"_2"OH"`, and β is still on the same side as the `"CH"_2"OH"`.
