SURVEY OF BIOCHEMISTRY Carbohydrates
2
What are Carbohydrates?
Generic Formula of Simple Carbs (CH2O)n Sugars formed from CO2 and H2O Roles Energy in diet Mediating intercellular communication Structural support (e.g. cell walls)
3
Polysaccharides (Glycans, Glycosides)
Classification Monosaccharides Aldoses Ketoses Polysaccharides (Glycans, Glycosides) Glycoproteins: sugars bound to proteins N-linked Oligosaccharides O-Linked Oligosaccharides
4
Aldoses & Ketoses Sugars made from aldehydes form aldoses
Sugars made from ketones form ketoses
5
Important Aldoses To Study
6-C sugars DESCRIBE SIMILARLITIES VS. DISTINCTIONS IN STRUCTURE 5-C sugar All begin with CHO group
6
Important Aldoses To Study
6-C sugars DESCRIBE SIMILARLITIES VS. DISTINCTIONS IN STRUCTURE 5-C sugar All end with group
7

9
Important Ketoses To Study
3-C sugar 5-C sugar 6-C sugar Ketoses begin with group
10
Important Ketoses To Study
3-C sugar 5-C sugar 6-C sugar Most ketoses end with group
11
Important Ketoses To Study
3-C sugar 5-C sugar 6-C sugar Several ketoses end with -ulose suffix
12
Structures of Monosaccharides
Isomers and Epimers Enantiomers Anomeric Carbons Ways to Draw Monosaccharides Fischer Projection Haworth Projection Chair form Preferred
13
Isomers Isomers are different compounds that have the same chemical formula C6H12O6
14
Epimers Epimers are sugars that differ only by the configuration around one carbon atom. Only difference
15
Enantiomers See Section 4-2 for help Know this structure
Most sugars are found in the D-stereoisomer. D-Glyceraldehyde is the most simple aldose.

Disaccharides: 2 sugars
Polysaccharides Disaccharides: 2 sugars Lactose: Glucose + Galactose Sucrose: Glucose + Fructose Maltose: Glucose + Glucose Oligosaccharides: 3-12 sugars Polysaccharides: 13+ sugars Glycogen: homopolysaccharide of glucose Glycosaminoglycans: heteropolysaccharides
22
Polysaccharides Monosaccharides can be linked to form oligosaccharides, and ultimately polysaccharides via glycosidic bonds. SUCROSE Glycosidic Bond
