CHM361H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 21: Threonine, Tyrosine, Asparagine
Document Summary
The notation -hoh means that that configuration can be either a or b. Hoh notation indicates the reducing end (free oh group on anomeric carbon) Sucrose has no free anomeric carbon atoms. Sugar + alcohol can lead to methylation. Lose an oh for h (deoxy sugar) Each individual unit (sugar) is a residue. End containing the free anomeric carbon i. e. with oh. Oligomerization involves reducing end of at least one sugar and an oh on. Reducing end of galactose + oh on c4 of b-glucose. Fructose b- ch2oh on the opposite ends of each other. Breaking down glucose is the start of the formation of atp. Required for metabolism specifically atp formation. 100 glucose molecules or 1 polysaccharide of 100 glucose molecule. Polymers of monosaccharides (sugars) are not always linear arrangements. Can involve linkage between anomeric carbon on one monosaccharide and any oh group on another residue. Each polysaccharide will have a different length and different.
