Document Summary
Allows for multiple subunits to be joined together. Monosaccharides are joined to other monosaccharides or to alcohols and. Amines through glycosidic bonds group of alcohol (which may be alcohol in sugar) or nh2 group of amine (like in an amino acid) Form through a condensation reaction oh group at anomeric c of sugar + oh. O-glycosidic bond- oxygen is the linker between the sugars (fig 11. 9) N-glycosidic bond- nitrogen is the linker between the sugars. Examples: dna, rna, atp, glycoproteins (signaling and recognition between neighbouring cells) Linkage of the two monosacchariedes by an o-glycosidic bond. Alpha-monomeric form of c1 on one glucose joined to hydroxyl oxygen of c4 of the second form (also in the alpha form) Know the structures of glucose and fructose and how to draw them- the structures tell you when the energy is released. Look at c1 to determine whether or not it"s alpha or beta. Difference between pasta and tree bark depends on this.
