Calories for carbohydrates

4Cal/g

Empirical formula for carbohydrates

[CH2O]n

Carbohydrates also contain

Nitrogen, Phosphorous, sulphur

Which type of carbohydrates not follow [CH2O]n formula

Deoxyribose, rhamnohexos

Carbohydrates are stored in form of

Glycogen (in animals) starch (in plants)

Carbohydrates are structural components in animals, plants and insects as

Glycosaminoglycans, cellulose, chitin

Cellulose is a

Non-digestable carbohydrate

Carbohydrates are classified into

Monosaccharides


Oligosaccharides


Polysaccharides

Moat abundant organic compound in biosphere

Cellulose

Moat abundant organic compound in biosphere

Cellulose

Oligosaccharides contain (n) monosaccharide molecules

2-10 monosaccharide units

No.of isomers is determined by

No.of asymmetric carbon atoms (2^x)

D isomer is determined

''-OH group'' is on the right side of the primary alcohol carbon atom

Optical activity is a feature of

Asymmetric carbon atoms

Optical activity is

Ray of light on paasing through a solution, the optical isomer either turns to right (dextrorotatory d+) and left (levorotatory l-)

What is a racemic mixture

d and l - isomers present in equal conc.

Optical activity of racemic mixture

0, because the dextro and Levorotatory activities cancel each other

Epimers

Change in the structural configuration of any other c-atom other than an anomer in a monosaccharide.

Epimers at C4

Glucose and galactose

Epimers at C2 or C2 epimers

Glucose and mannose

Epimerization

Interconversion of epimers

Enzyme to catalyse epimerization

Epimerase

What is an emantiomer

Molecules that are mirror images of each other

Diastereomers

Not mirror images of each other

Alpha anomer

Carb. Where the -OH group that is bound to the anomeric carbon is trans to the CH2O group and is present on the other side of the ring

Beta anomer

The carb. Where the Group bounded to the anomeric carbon is in, cis to the -CH2O group.

When does optical rotation decrease

In alkali

Isomers

Have same formula but different Structure

Constitutional isomers

Differ in order of attachment of atoms

Steroisomers are divided into

Enatiomers and diastereomers

Enantiomers

Non superimposable mirror images

Diastereomers

Isomers that are not mirror images

Unequal mixture of emantiomers

Enantiomers excess (e.e)

Peptidoglycan is also known as

Murein

Peptidoglycan is

Sugar component with beta(1→4) alternating residues with n-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and n-acetylmuramicacid (NAM). It forms a mesh like layer btw plasma layer and outer layer
