Carbohydrates
• Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth
• Originally produced through CO2 fixation during photosynthesis
![Page 3: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Roles of Carbohydrates
• Energy storage (glycogen,starch)
• Structural components (cellulose,chitin)
• Cellular recognition • Carbohydrate derivatives
include DNA, RNA, co-factors, glycoproteins, glycolipids
![Page 4: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Carbohydrates
• Monosaccharides (simple sugars) cannot be broken down into simpler sugars under mild conditions
• Oligosaccharides = "a few" - usually 2 to 10
• Polysaccharides are polymers of the simple sugars
![Page 5: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Monosaccharides• Polyhydroxy ketones
(ketoses) and aldehydes (aldoses)
• Aldoses and ketoses contain aldehyde and ketone functions, respectively
• Ketose named for “equivalent aldose” + “ul” inserted
• Triose, tetrose, etc. denotes number of carbons
• Empirical formula = (CH2O)n

Monosaccharides are chiral
• Aldoses with 3C or more and ketoses with 4C or more are chiral
• The number of chiral carbons present in a ketose is always one less than the number found in the same length aldose
• Number of possible steroisomers = 2n (n = the number of chiral carbons)

Stereochemistry
•Enantiomers = mirror images
•Pairs of isomers that have opposite configurations at one or more chiral centers but are NOT mirror images are diastereomers
•Epimers = Two sugars that differ in configuration at only one chiral center

Conformation of Monosaccharides
Pyranose sugars not planar molecules, prefer to be in either of the two chair conformations.

Reducing Sugars
• When in the uncyclized form, monosaccharides act as reducing agents.
• Free carbonyl group from aldoses or ketoses can reduce Cu2+ and Ag+ ions to insoluble products

Oligosaccharide groups are incorporated in to many drug
structures
![Page 26: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Polysaccharides• Nomenclature:
homopolysaccharide vs. heteropolysaccharide
• Starch and glycogen are storage molecules
• Chitin and cellulose are structural molecules
• Cell surface polysaccharides are recognition molecules
![Page 27: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Starch• A plant storage polysaccharide
• Two forms: amylose and amylopectin
• Most starch is 10-30% amylose and 70-90% amylopectin
• Average amylose chain length 100 to 1000 residues
• Branches in amylopectin every 25 residues (15-25 residues) -1->6 linkages
• Amylose has -1->4 links, one reducing end
![Page 28: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

![Page 29: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Starch
• Amylose is poorly soluble in water, but forms micellar suspensions
• In these suspensions, amylose is helical
![Page 30: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Glycogen
• Storage polysaccharide in animals• Glycogen constitutes up to 10% of liver
mass and 1-2% of muscle mass • Glycogen is stored energy for the
organism • Only difference from starch: number of
branches • Alpha(1,6) branches every 8-12 residues • Like amylopectin, glycogen gives a red-
violet color with iodine
![Page 31: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dextrans• If you change the main linkages between
glucose from alpha(1,4) to alpha(1,6), you get a new family of polysaccharides - dextrans
• Branches can be (1,2), (1,3), or (1,4)
• Dextrans formed by bacteria are components of dental plaque
• Cross-linked dextrans are used as "Sephadex" gels in column chromatography
• These gels are up to 98% water!
![Page 32: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Cellulose
• Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer on earth
• Cellulose is the principal strength and support of trees and plants
• Cellulose can also be soft and fuzzy - in cotton
![Page 34: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Cellulose
• Beta(1,4) linkages make all the difference!
• Strands of cellulose form extended ribbons
• Interchain H-bonding allows multi-chain interactions. Forms cable like structures.
![Page 36: Carbohydrates. Most abundant class of biological molecules on Earth Originally produced through CO 2 fixation during photosynthesis.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649efd5503460f94c11703/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chitin• exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects
and spiders, and cell walls of fungi
• similar to cellulose, but instead of glucose uses N-acetyl glucosamine (C-2s are N-acetyl instead of –OH)
-1->4 linked N-acetylglucosamine units
• cellulose strands are parallel, chitins can be parallell or antiparallel

Peptidoglycan is target of antibacterial agents•Lysozyme = enzyme that cleaves polysaccharide chain of peptidoglycan
•Penicillin = inhibits linking of peptidoglycan chains.
•Inhibits bond formation between terminal alanine and pentaglycine linker
•Penicillian looks like an Ala-Ala

O-linked Glycoproteins
• Function in many cases is to adopt an extended conformation
• These extended conformations resemble "bristle brushes"
• Bristle brush structure extends functional domains up from membrane surface

N-linked Glycoproteins
• Oligosaccharides can alter the chemical and physical properties of proteins
• Oligosaccharides can stabilize protein conformations and/or protect against proteolysis
• Cleavage of monosaccharide units from N-linked glycoproteins in blood targets them for degradation in the liver
• Involved in targeting proteins to specific subcellular compartments
