epimers
|
sugars differing at 1 asymmetric center (i.e. D-glucose/D-mannose)
|

aldehydes react with an alcohol to form____________
|
hemiacetal (when aldoses form rings)
|
|
ketones react with an alcohol to form _________________
|
hemiketal (when ketoses form rings)
|
|
5-sided sugar
6-sided sugar |
furanose (five)
pyranose (six) |
|
when OH to the right of O in a pyranose or furanose is below the plane of the ring
|
alpha
|
|
when OH to the right of O in a pyranose or furanose is above the plane of the ring
|
beta
|
|
sugar phosphorylation does what 2 things?
|
1) makes sugars anionic--negative charge means sugars can't cross lipid bilayer membrane
2) creates reactive intermediate--readily form linkages to other molecules |
|
oligosaccharides
|
links of monomers built by linkage of O-glyosidic bonds
|
|
sucrose
|
disaccharide
transport carb in plants glucose (alpha linkage) and fructose (beta linkage) |
|
lactose
|
disaccharide of milk
galactose and glucose (beta 1,4 linkage) |
|
maltose
|
disaccharide produced by hydrolysis of starch
2 glucose (alpha 1,4 linkage) |
|
3 disaccharides
|
maltose, lactose, sucrose
|
|
glycogen
|
large, branched polymer of glucose residues
most are in alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds form hollow helixes |
|
2 forms of starch
|
amylose--unbranched glucose residues in alpha 1,4 linkages
amylopectine--branched |
|
cellulose
|
structural polymer of plants
unbranched polymer of glucose residues joined by beta 1,4 linkages |
|
fibrils
|
parallel chains of cellulose that interact through H-bonds
|
|
glycosaminoglycans
|
anionic polysaccharide chains made up of repeating disaccharide units (have proteoglycans attached)
|
|
proteoglycans
|
proteins attached to glycosaminoglycans
function as joint lubricants and structural components in connective tissue |
|
5 major glycosaminoglycans in animals
|
chondroitin 6-sulfate, keratin sulfate, heparin, dermatan sulfate, hyaluronate
|
|
aggrecan
|
proteoglycan in extracellular matrix of cartilage
serves as shock absorber noncovalently bonded to hyaluronan strands that have proteoglycan arms that absorb water and cushion joints |
|
glycosyltransferases
|
catalyze formation of glycosidic bonds that link monosaccharides
|
|
A,B and O blood types
|
carbohydrates are attached to proteins and lipids on surface of red blood cells
O=oligosaccharide foundation A and B made by addition of an extra monosaccharide by an alpha 1,3 linkage to galactose moiety on O A=N-acetylgalactosamine B=galactose specific glycosyltransferases add A or B to O |
|
sugars in glycoproteins are either attached to...
|
N in side chain of Asn or O in Ser or Thr
an Asn residue can only accept an oligosaccharide if residue is part of Asn-X-Thr or Asn-X-Ser (x can be anything except proline) |
|
glycoprotein
|
protein with carbohydrate attached by glycosidic bonds
|
|
glycosyl transferases are found in
|
the ER and golgi
|
|
lectins
|
bind specific carbohydrate structures on opposing cell
some lectins require Ca++ which acts as a bridge between protein and sugar |
|
H1N1 and carbohydrates
|
H1N1 binds to carbs on surface of cell
viral protein hemagglutinin binds to sialic acid residues on cell-surface glycoproteins after entry into cell, neuraminidase cleaves glycosidic bond to sialic acid |
