Carbohydrates. Carbohydrate. hydrate of carbon – C n (H 2 O) m Glucose -blood sugar- C 6 H 12 O 6 or C 6 (H 2 O) 6 Sucrose -table sugar- C 12 H 22 O 11 or C 12 (H 2 O) 11. Not all carbohydrates have this exact form – old habits die slow or sometimes never at all. Monosaccharides.
E N D
Carbohydrate • hydrate of carbon – Cn(H2O)m • Glucose -blood sugar- C6H12O6 or C6(H2O)6 • Sucrose -table sugar- C12H22O11 or C12(H2O)11
Not all carbohydrates have this exact form – old habits die slow or sometimes never at all
Monosaccharides • Formula CnH2nOn • One carbon is either an aldehyde or ketone • The suffix ose indicates that the molecule is a carbohydrate • Use prefix to indicate number of carbons tri , tetr, pent, hex • Aldose – contain an aldehyde group • Ketose – contain a ketone group
Aldohexoses carbohydrates or saccharides aldehyde function six carbons Monosaccharides • Aldohexoses other examples: ketotetrose, aldotriose, ketopentose
A B D C Fischer Projections • Emil Fischer (late 1800’s) • Side groups come out of the plane (towards you) • Vertical groups go back away from you
Naming Aldotriose and aldotetrose Remember ET goes home left at T
Naming AldoPentose RAXL – Ribose, Araginose, Xylose, Lyxose Right – Top – Middle – Top/Middle
Naming Aldohexoses • All Altrose Gladly Make Gum in Gallon Tanks • Bottom – all right • 2 up – 4x4 • 3 up – 2x2 like Noahs Ark • 4 up – alternate
R/S and D/L • R = D - dextrorotatory • S = L - levarotatory • D – A monosaccharide with the Penultimate OH group on the right in a Fischer Projection • L - A monosaccharide with the penultimate OH group on the left in a Fischer Projection OK, so what’s a penultimate????
Ketoses triose * • Note: The ketone is located on carbon #2 tetrose pentoses Penultimate is the next To last carbon hexoses *
Amino Sugars • Contain an NH2 group instead of an OH • 1st three are common in nature
Cyclic structure of monsacharides • It’s the hemiacetal reaction all over • We draw them as Haworth Projections • Practice practice practice From yahoo images
Reactions of Monosacharides • Practice From yahoo images
The two Most Significant Sugars • Ketose • D-Fructose • Known as “fruit sugar” • Found combined with glucosein the disaccharide sucrose • Aldose • -D-glucose • -The most important • monosaccharide • -White solid • -Formula C6H12O6 • - Sugar used in our bodies
Multiple Sugars • Monosaccharides – Single Carbohydrate unit • Disaccharides - two monosaccharides combined • Oligosaccharides - three to ten monosaccharides • Polsaccharide – More than ten monoscharides
Three Disaccharides • Sucrose • Lactose • Maltose
Disaccharides * • Sucrose • A disaccharide • One D-glucose andone D-Fructose • Connected by two anomeric carbons:C-1on glucose and C-2on fructose linkages:linkage on glucose andlinkage on fructose
Disaccharides * • Sucrose • Anomeric C are tied-upon both sugars • No oxidation can occurno hemi-acetals • Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar • Hydrolyzed by enzymes to form a mixture ofglucose and fructose - “invert sugar”
-C-1 -C-2 Disaccharides * • Sucrose
Disaccharides * • Lactose • A disaccharide • One D-galactose andone D-glucose • Connected by an linkagebetween D-Galactose C-1 and D-Glucose C-4 • Known as an -1,4 linkage • Found in mammalian milk
-1,4 linkage Lactose Disaccharides
Disaccharides * • Maltose • A disaccharide • Two D-glucose monomers • Connected by an linkagebetween C-1 and C-4 • Known as an -1,4 linkage (two D-glucose molecules) • An ingredient in most syrups • “Malt sugar”
-1,4 linkage Disaccharides
Polysaccharides * • Starch - Amylose • Many units of -D-glucose • Linkages are -1,4 (same as Maltose) • Between 1000-2000 glucoseunits (polyglucose) • Random coils or helix
Polysaccharides * • Starch - Amylopectin • Also many units of -D-glucose • Linkages are -1,4 and -1,6 • Lots of branching • 20 to 25 glucose monomers inthe straight chain and then branching • A total of 105 to 106glucose molecules • Use Iodine (I2) to test for starches
Polysaccharides * • Glycogen • Animal energy storage (about 400 g in us) • -D-glucose polymer • Similar to amylopectin but smaller chains • Linkages are -1,4 and -1,6 (branching) • 10 to 20 glucose monomers in thestraight chain and then branching • A total of 105 to 106glucose molecules
Polysaccharides * • Cellulose • Linear polymer of D-glucose • Linkages are -1,4 ! • The most abundant molecule inliving tissues • Cotton is about 95% cellulose • 300 to 3000 glucose units • Form fibrous rods
Polysaccharides * • Cellulose • We cannot digest cellulose • glucose linkages! • Many bacteria and fungihave necessary enzyme • Ruminant mammals carrythese bacteria • Termites also have necessarymicroorganisms
