Chapter 7: Carbohydrates
• “Sugars”– Nutrient source (energy source)– Structural component
• Eg. cellulose (pure polymeric sugar)• Or in combination with peptides
– Glycoproteins– Peptidoglycans
– Information content• Component of nucleotides/nucleic acids• “The sugar code”: cell/cell recognition

What is a carbohydrate?• Polyhydroxy aldehyde OR polyhydroxy ketone
• Often named with –ose– Generally: three carbons “triose,” six carbons “hexose,” etc– Specifically: glucose, ribose, fructose, sucrose, etc.
• Monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides

Carbohydrate structure
• Several chiral centers• Chirality at most
distant carbon determines L- or D-
• Chirality at other carbons determines identity
Five carbonsAll centers D- conformationD-ribose

Sugars tend to have cyclic (ring) structures in solution
Hydroxyl group on 5th carbon of glucose attacks the carbonyl carbon (aldehyde) to form a hemiacetal

Rings closed by hemiacetal or hemiketal formation

Ring formation introduces a new
stereocenter: can be - or -
That carbon is an anomeric center

Cyclic sugars
• Six-membered rings (glucose) = pyranoses
• Five-membered rings (fructose, ribose) = furans
• Not flat: ‘chair’ forms with axial and equatorial hydroxyl groups
![Page 10: Chapter 7: Carbohydrates “Sugars” –Nutrient source (energy source) –Structural component Eg.…](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1be37f8b9ab0599e0d0f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Five-membered ring can come from five-carbon aldoses or six-carbon ketoses

Cyclic sugars
• Anomeric carbon is either:1. Free & therefore capable of mutarotation
2. Involved in a glycosidic bond
![Page 13: Chapter 7: Carbohydrates “Sugars” –Nutrient source (energy source) –Structural component Eg.…](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062911/5a4d1be37f8b9ab0599e0d0f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hemiacetal/ketal can form a full acetal or ketal by a 2nd alcohol attack
