1. Carbohydrates Carbohydrate: a ________________ or ______________, or a substance that gives these compounds on hydrolysis Monosaccharide: a carbohydrate that cannot be _____________ to a simpler carbohydrate –they have the general formula C n H 2n O n, where n varies from 3 to 8 –aldose: a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group –ketose: a monosaccharide containing a ketone group

5. Monosaccharides There are only two trioses –often aldo- and keto- are omitted and these compounds are referred to simply as trioses; although this designation does not tell the nature of the carbonyl group, it at least tells the number of carbons

6. Monosaccharides Glyceraldehyde contains a stereocenter and exists as a pair of enantiomers

7. Fig. 19.1, p.467

8. Fischer Projections Fischer projection: a two dimensional representation for showing the configuration of tetrahedral __________________ –____________ lines represent bonds projecting forward –vertical lines represent bonds projecting to the ______

9. D,L Monosaccharides In 1891, Emil Fischer made the arbitrary assignments of D- and L- to the enantiomers of glyceraldehyde

10. D,L Monosaccharides According to the conventions proposed by Fischer –D-monosaccharide: a monosaccharide that, when written as a Fischer projection, has the - OH on its ___________ carbon on the right –L-monosaccharide: a monosaccharide that, when written as a Fischer projection, has the - OH on its penultimate carbon on the ______

11. Following are the two most common D- aldotetroses and D-aldopentoses D,L Monosaccharides

12. and the three common D-aldohexoses. Note that one of these is an amino sugar

15. Cyclic Structure Monosaccharides have hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in the same molecule and exist almost entirely as five- and six- membered cyclic ______________ –__________ carbon: the new stereocenter resulting from cyclic hemiacetal formation –_______ : carbohydrates that differ in configuation at their anomeric carbons

18. Haworth Projections Haworth projections –five- and six-membered hemiacetals are represented as planar ________ or ________, as the case may be, viewed through the edge –most commonly written with the ________ carbon on the right and the hemiacetal oxygen to the back right –the designation  means that -OH on the anomeric carbon is cis to the terminal -CH 2 OH; ___ means that it is trans

22. Mutarotation Mutarotation: the change in specific rotation that occurs when an  or  form of a carbohydrate is converted to an equilibrium mixture of the two

23. Mutarotation: the change in specific rotation that occurs when an a or b form of a carbohydrate is converted to an equilibrium mixture of the two

29. Reduction to Alditols The carbonyl group of a monosaccharide can be reduced to an hydroxyl group by a variety of reducing agents, including NaBH 4 and H 2 /M

30. Oxidation to Aldonic Acids Oxidation of the -CHO group of an aldose to a -CO 2 H group can also be carried out using Tollens’, Benedict’s, or Fehling’s solutions

31. Oxidation to Aldonic Acids 2-Ketoses are also oxidized by these reagents because, under the conditions of the oxidation, 2-ketoses equilibrate with isomeric _________

33. Glucose Assay The analytical procedure most often performed in the clinical chemistry laboratory is the determination of glucose in blood, urine, or other biological fluid –this need stems from the high incidence of diabetes in the population

34. Glucose Assay The glucose oxidase method is completely specific for D-glucose

35. Glucose Assay –the enzyme glucose oxidase is specific for  -D-glucose –molecular oxygen, O 2, used in this reaction is reduced to hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2 –the concentration of H 2 O 2 is determined experimentally, and is proportional to the concentration of glucose in the sample –in one procedure, hydrogen peroxide is used to oxidize o-toluidine to a colored product, whose concentration is determined spectrophotometrically

38. Glycosides _________ bond: the bond from the anomeric carbon of the glycoside to an -OR group __________ are named by listing the name of the alkyl or aryl group attached to oxygen followed by the name of the carbohydrate with the ending -e replaced by -ide –methyl  -D-glucopyranoside –methyl  -D-ribofuranoside

39. Formation of Glycosides Glycoside: a carbohydrate in which the - OH of the anomeric carbon is replaced by - OR Methyl  -D-glucopyranoside (methyl  -D- glucoside)

42. The –OR group of the glycoside may be another monosaccharide – the resulting glycoside is then a disaccharide Examples of important disaccharides follow:

43. Maltose From malt, the juice of sprouted barley and other cereal grains

44. beta-maltose

45. Lactose The principle sugar present in milk –about 5% - 8% in human milk, 4% - 5% in cow’s milk

46. lactose

47. Sucrose Table sugar, obtained from the juice of sugar cane and sugar beet

57. Cellulose Cellulose is a linear polymer of D-glucose units joined by  -1,4-glycoside bonds –it has an average molecular weight of 400,000, corresponding to approximately 2800 D- glucose units per molecule

59. Starch Starch is used for energy storage in plants –it can be separated into two fractions; amylose and amylopectin. Each on complete hydrolysis gives only D-glucose –amylose is composed of continuous, unbranched chains of up to 4000 D-glucose units joined by  -1,4- glycoside bonds –amylopectin is a highly branched polymer of D- glucose. Chains consist of 24-30 units of D-glucose joined by  -1,4-glycoside bonds and branches created by  -1,6-glycoside bonds

60. Glycogen Glycogen is the reserve carbohydrate for animals Like amylopectin, glycogen is a nonlinear polymer of D-glucose units joined by  -1,4- and  -1,6-glycoside bonds bonds The total amount of glycogen in the body of a well-nourished adult is about 350 g (about 3/4 of a pound) divided almost equally between liver and muscle

66. Blood Group Substances Membranes of animal plasma cells have large numbers of relatively small carbohydrates bound to them These membrane-bound carbohydrates are part of the mechanism by which cell types recognize each other; they act as antigenic determinants Among the first discovered of these antigenic determinants are the blood group substances
