Which of an alpha-D-2,3-di-O-methylglucopyranose or alpha-D-2,3, 6-tri-O-methylglucopyranose represents a glucose unit in glycogen which was originally carrying an (alpha 1-->6) glycosidic bond?
Raffinose, the most abundant trisaccharide found in nature, occurs in whole grains and numerous vegetables (e.g., asparagus, cabbage, and beans). Hydrolysis of raffinose yields galactose and sucrose. Provide the systematic name for this trisaccharide. Is raffinose a reducing or nonreducing sugar? Is raffinose capable of mutarotation?
The diversity of functional groups on sugars that can form glycosidicbonds greatly increases the information content of glycans relative to oligopeptides. Consider three amino acids, A, B, and C. How many tripeptides can be formed from one molecule of each amino acid? Now considerthree sugars—glucose, glucuronic acid, and N-acetylglucosamine. Use shorthand (e.g., Glcα(1 → 4)GlcUAβ(1 → 4)GlcNAc to represent 10 trisaccharides with the sequence Glc-GlcUA-GluNAc. Is your list exhaustive?

- The diversity of functional groups on sugars that can form glycosidic bonds greatly increases the information content of glycans relative to oligopeptides. Consider three amino acids, A, B, and C. How many tripeptides can be formed from one molecule of each amino acid? Now consider three sugars- glucose, glucuronic acid, and N-acetylglucosamine. Use shorthand (eg., Glca(1 → 4)GICUAB(1 → 4)GICNAC) to represent 10 trisaccharides with the sequence Glc-GlcUA-GluNAc. Is your list exhaustive?arrow_forwardThe fructose in honey is mainly in the β-D-pyranose form. This is oneof the sweetest carbohydrates known, about twice as sweet as glucose; the β-D-furanose form of fructose is much less sweet. The sweetness of honey gradually decreases at a high temperature. Also, high-fructose corn syrup (a commercial product in which much of the glucose in corn syrup is converted to fructose) is used for sweetening cold but not hot drinks. What chemical property of fructose could account for both these observations?arrow_forwardNaturally occurring D-glucose is one of a pair of enantiomers. Its mirror image is L-glucose. Draw the two cyclic six-membered isomers of L-glucose that differ in the configuration around C1 and indicate which is a and which is B.arrow_forward
- The amount of branching (number of (α1→6) glycosidic bonds) in amylopectin can be determined by the following procedure. A sample of amylopectin is exhaustively methylated—treated with a methylating agent (methyl iodide) that replaces the hydrogen of every sugar hydroxyl witha methyl group, converting —OH to —OCH3 . All the glycosidic bonds in the treated sample are then hydrolyzed in aqueous acid, and the amount of 2,3-di-O-methylglucose so formed is determined.(a) Explain the basis of this procedure for determining the number of (α1→6) branch points in amylopectin. What happens to the unbranched glucose residues in amylopectin during the methylation and hydrolysis procedure?(b) A 258 mg sample of amylopectin treated as described above yielded 12.4 mg of 2,3-di-O-methylglucose. Determine what percentage of the glucose residues in the amylopectin contained an (α1→6) branch. (Assume that the average molecular weight of a glucose residue in amylopectin is 162 g/mol.)arrow_forwardThe diversity of functional groups on sugars that can form glycosidic bonds greatly increases the information content of glycans relative to oligopeptides. Consider three amino acids, A, B, and C. How many tripeptides can be formed from one molecule of each amino acid? Now consider three sugars—glucose, glucuronic acid, and N-acetylglucosamine.

Draw their structures.arrow_forward
- In preparation for the winter months, a squirrel gorges itself daily with 25g of blueberries (100 g blueberry = 3.6 g glucose [180 g/mol] / 3.6 g fructose [180 g/mol]). How many grams of C16 fatty acids (255 g/mol) can this squirrel accumulate over 10 days of such a diet (assume that all the sugars from the blueberries are converted into C16 fatty acids)?arrow_forwardSaccharide X occurs in the roots of several species of plants. Deduce the structure of saccharide x from the following data: 1. acidic hydrolysis of 1 mol of stachyose yields 2 mol of D-galactose, 1 mol of D-glucose, and 1 mol of D-fructose. 2. Stachyose is a nonreducing sugar. 3. Treating stachyose with an alpha-galactosidase produces a mixture containing D-galactose, sucrose, and a nonreducing trisaccharide called raffinose. 4. Acidic hydrolysis of raffinose gives D-glucose, D-fructose, and D-galactose. Treating raffinose with an alpha-galactosidase yields D-galactose and sucrose. Treating raffinose with invertase (an enzyme that hydrolyzed sucrose) yields fructose and melibiose. 5. Methylation of saccharide x followed by hydrolysis yields 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-galactose, 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose, and 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-fructose.arrow_forwardThe human body uses the branched polymer glycogen for short term storage of glucose in the liver. It is broken down by the stepwise removal of the terminal glucose monomer. Explain why it is an advantage for glycogen to have a branch chain structure rather than a linear structure. (A pargraph would be great)arrow_forward
- Suppose a polymer of glucose with alternating α(1-->4) and β(1-->4) glycosidic linkages has just been discovered. Draw a Haworth projection for a repeating tetramer (ie, two repeating dimers) of such a polysaccharide. What organism might use this as a food source?arrow_forwardDraw the skeletal structure of the products formed when the given triacylglycerol is hydrolyzed with water in the presence of sodium hydroxide. You may draw the structures in any arrangement that you like, so long as they aren't touching.arrow_forwardBased on the structure of sucrose below, is it classified as a reducing sugar?
