Biochemistry Review / Crash Course
Classification of monosaccharides classified by type of carbonyl group aldoses - polyhydroxylaldehydes ketoses - polyhydroxylketones
Classification of monosaccharides classified by number of carbons trioses - 3 carbon sugars –aldehydic triose or aldotriose –ketonic triose or ketotriose tetroses pentoses hexoses heptoses etc.
Cyclic hemiacetals formed by intramolecular reaction represented by Haworth projection formulas -D-glucopyranose (Haworth projection) pyran D-glucose (linear form)
Anomers cyclization forms a new asymmetric carbon two possible stereoisomers could result inconvert in a process called mutarotation -D-Glucopyranose -D-Glucopyranose
Cyclic hemiketals furan D-fructose (linear form) -D-Fructofuranose
Disaccharides Glucose anomer of Maltose -D-Glucopyranosyl-(1 4)- -D-glucopyranose
Disaccharides Glucose Fructose Sucrose -D-Glucopyranosyl-(1 2)- -D-fructofuranoside
Polysaccharides (glycans)
Storage Polysaccharides: Amylose
Branch Main chain starch (amylopectin) branches every 24 to 30 glucoses glycogen branches every 8 to 12 glucoses Storage Polysaccharides: Amylopectin
Amylopectin amylase Free Glucose molecules hydrolysis
Preparatory Phase of Glycolysis (figure 14-2a)
Payoff Phases of Glycolysis (figure 14-2b)
Overall Glycolysis: produces two ATP, two NADH, and 2 pyruvates from 1 glucose
Two Types of Energy-Yielding Metabolism aerobic (or respiration) –utilization or consumption of O 2 to make pathways go forward anaerobic (or fermentation) –final electron acceptor is not O 2
Fate of Pyruvate
Formation of Ethanol
Thiamine Pyrophosphate (TPP)
Reactions Catalyzed by Thiamine 1) -keto acids decarboxylation
Reactions Catalyzed by Thiamine 2) -condensation reactions pyruvate α-acetolactate
Formation of Ethanol
Nicotinamide
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide
