|
define glycosidic bond |
type of covalent bond that involves a sugar(carbohydrate) and another molecule (could be another carb) |
|
|
n glycosidic vs o glycosidic |
n-glycosidic: a type of carbohydrate-protein covalent linkage between an asparagine side chain amide and a sugar, type 1 linkage o-glycosidic: serine or threonine hydroxyl side chain amide and a sugar, type II linkage |
|
|
alpha vs beta glycosidic bonds |
alpha below the place of the anomeric carbon, beta is above |
|
|
define monosaccharide |
any sugar that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar |
|
|
define disaccharide |
any sugar that contains two monosaccharides |
|
|
define polysaccharide |
a number of sugar molecules more than a disacharide |
|
|
define glycolipid |
lipid with a carbohydrate, attached by a glycosidic bond |
|
|
define glycoprotein |
carbohydrate attached to a polypeptide chain |
|
|
difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids |
saturated are just single bonded carbons, unsaturated has a double bond |
|
|
define hydrogenation |
The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. Hydrogenation typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule, generally an alkene. |
|
|
define nucleoside |
a compound (e.g., adenosine or cytidine) commonly found in DNA or RNA, consisting of a purine or pyrimidine base linked to a sugar. |
