BIO 4307 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Blood Transfusion, Amylose, Maltose
Document Summary
Chapter 10 157-175: structure and names of selected monosaccharaides, small intro. They are the product from photosynthesis from co2 and h2o. Selected for this course: all in d isomer. Glyceraldehyde, ribose, glucose, mannose, galactose, fructose and dihydroxyacetone- reference sheet available: do know their cn (h2o)n just i(cid:374) (cid:272)ase it(cid:859)s (cid:374)ot spelled out o(cid:374) test. They are sweet-tasting: complex carbos are disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Disaccharides are oligosaccharides (have a special bond see below) with two units (di) oligosaccharides are saccharides with 2-10 units. Polysaccharides contain recurring units/monosaccharides: because monomers/monosaccharides can be linked in many different ways carbos have a lot of diversity, open-chain and ring forms of monosaccharides, classification depends on. Number of backbone c: triose- 3c like glyceraldehyde, pentose- 5c like ribose, hexoses - 6c like glucose, numbering begins at the most oxidized end. Remember ochem numbering style start at the carbonyl end.
