  1. 0:00so in this part of supplemental material
  2. 0:02i want to give you some more information
  3. 0:04working through carbohydrates looking at
  4. 0:06those as monosaccharides and also
  5. 0:07considering
  6. 0:08um how monosaccharides become building
  7. 0:10blocks for polysaccharides and how these
  8. 0:12can allow for unique structural
  9. 0:14properties
  10. 0:15so the first is to look at glucose and
  11. 0:17galactose
  12. 0:18i think about how these can cyclize
  13. 0:21the way that these sugar molecules exist
  14. 0:24are in the cyclic forms in the cell
  15. 0:26how does the cyclicization happen as
  16. 0:28well as a difference in these structures
  17. 0:29some important definitions we can look
  18. 0:31at
  19. 0:32also looking at the involvement of
  20. 0:33monosaccharides in the structure of
  21. 0:34lactose
  22. 0:35we can consider linkage identify numeric
  23. 0:37carbons and also discuss whether this
  24. 0:40uh lactose is reducing or not reducing
  25. 0:42sugar
  26. 0:43so the first is to have you all practice
  27. 0:45drying out these structures
  28. 0:47obviously you need to know all the
  29. 0:49structures in the boxes
  30. 0:51but definitely glucose galactose and
  31. 0:53fructose are going to be the ones that
  32. 0:55we see the most and
  33. 0:56obviously glucose of the three is
  34. 0:58probably even the most important and
  35. 1:00looking at derivatives
  36. 1:01so anytime you study studying in
  37. 1:03hierarchy um where
  38. 1:04the things you're going to see the most
  39. 1:05or the ones you need to know definitely
  40. 1:07make sure that you understand
  41. 1:08um glucose cyclicization work your way
  42. 1:11through galactose
  43. 1:12fructose and then start learning each of
  44. 1:14the others
  45. 1:15so this is draw the cichlid structures
  46. 1:17as they exist in the cell
  47. 1:19and how does the cyclicization happen
  48. 1:21and what is the difference in the
  49. 1:22structure so both galactose and glucose
  50. 1:24are going to be
  51. 1:26um aldo hexoses which means they're
  52. 1:28going to prefer
  53. 1:29the parent form it's the most stable
  54. 1:31which is a six-membered ring
  55. 1:33when we look at the six-membered ring
  56. 1:35this means that there's going to be five
  57. 1:36carbons in one oxygen
  58. 1:38so if we start here at carbon one this
  59. 1:41is where our aldehyde functional group
  60. 1:43is
  61. 1:43this is where we have the ability of
  62. 1:45nucleophilic attack
  63. 1:47we have to have five carbons that
  64. 1:48cyclize through this
  65. 1:50um uh sorry you have to have five
  66. 1:53carbons in the pure and cyclic structure
  67. 1:55and then the oxygen forms the sixth
  68. 1:57member that's going to be the
  69. 1:58nucleophile
  70. 1:59so we would have to count one carbon two
  71. 2:02three four
  72. 2:02five so my fifth carbon and then i see
  73. 2:04that my oh is going to serve as the
  74. 2:06nucleophile
  75. 2:07so this is how we have our ring
  76. 2:10closing and we're going to do
  77. 2:12nucleophilic attack
  78. 2:13on our carbonyl we're going to push the
  79. 2:15electrons up into the carbonyl oxygen
  80. 2:17pick up a proton
  81. 2:19and we're going to allow for
  82. 2:20cyclicization so this is the formation
  83. 2:23of the new bond
  84. 2:24this is going to be the anomeric carbon
  85. 2:29and we know that through ring opening
  86. 2:31and closing
  87. 2:32we can have in this case pointed in the
  88. 2:36same
  89. 2:36orientation as our beta conformation
  90. 2:40if we have our anomeric carbon pointed
  91. 2:42in the opposite orientation then it
  92. 2:43would be in the alpha conformation
  93. 2:45both of those are possible just depends
  94. 2:47on directionality of which nucleophilic
  95. 2:49attack happens
  96. 2:50so that's the important thing for
  97. 2:51cyclicalization we have the same thing
  98. 2:53when it comes to glucose
  99. 2:56and ring structure is going to be formed
  100. 2:59we have here formation of our new
  101. 3:01covalent bond and we also have
  102. 3:03that beta conformation with respect to
  103. 3:05our anomalous carbon
  104. 3:08so in both cases we see our carbon one
  105. 3:11that becomes anomier carbon okay the
  106. 3:14next question says what are some of the
  107. 3:16differences in the structure
  108. 3:17so if we look at galactose and glucose
  109. 3:19these structures are identical the only
  110. 3:21difference is going to be
  111. 3:22stereochemistry about carbon 4. because
  112. 3:26of that by definition we call these
  113. 3:28epimers
  114. 3:29because they only differ in
  115. 3:31stereochemistry at one carbon
  116. 3:33so when we look at the structures this
  117. 3:34is highlighted here in red
  118. 3:36we would see that structure the flipping
  119. 3:39with respect to the oh group to this
  120. 3:44particular carbon four um where we have
  121. 3:46these different
  122. 3:47um forms so make sure as you draw these
  123. 3:51we think about them in terms of the
  124. 3:52linear structure how they cyclize
  125. 3:54and drawing cyclic structure so taking
  126. 3:56from monosaccharides these then become
  127. 3:58building blocks for other disaccharides
  128. 4:00and polysaccharides the next part was to
  129. 4:02get you to look at the involvement of
  130. 4:03these monosaccharides in terms of
  131. 4:05structure of lactose which we know
  132. 4:06lactose is a disaccharide so we're going
  133. 4:09to look at how galactose and glucose
  134. 4:11link together
  135. 4:12identify involvement of anomeric carbons
  136. 4:14determine if this is a reducing or
  137. 4:15non-reducing sugar
  138. 4:17so the first thing when we look at the
  139. 4:19structure
  140. 4:20is this leading sugar is going to use
  141. 4:23its anomeric carbon
  142. 4:25in order to form the glycosidic bond
  143. 4:30so what we see here is carbon 1 is the
  144. 4:32anomeric carbon of
  145. 4:34galactose and we see that this bond is
  146. 4:37pointing
  147. 4:38up same directionality as we see with
  148. 4:40carbon 6
  149. 4:41so that tells us it's a beta
  150. 4:43conformation for the linkage then we
  151. 4:45have to see how it attaches to the
  152. 4:47second sugar
  153. 4:48in this case we're going to have glucose
  154. 4:50and we see that its attachment is to
  155. 4:52carbon 4. so for linkage we put beta
  156. 4:55linkage one between carbon four so beta
  157. 4:57orientation of anomeric carbon one and
  158. 4:59it links to
  159. 5:00carbon four which is the non-anomeric
  160. 5:03carbon of glucose
  161. 5:04so if i want to identify anomeric
  162. 5:06carbons these are gonna be carbon one
  163. 5:09i would see the anomeric carbons in both
  164. 5:11of my structures we know that the
  165. 5:13enormous carbon of galactose is involved
  166. 5:15in
  167. 5:15the glycosidic bond linkage beta 1 4 and
  168. 5:18we see that the anomeric carbon of
  169. 5:20glucose
  170. 5:21is still capable of ring opening and
  171. 5:22closing that tells us then
  172. 5:25because we can still flip between
  173. 5:29the alpha and the beta um anomeric
  174. 5:33carbon
  175. 5:33these animals that this is going to be
  176. 5:35what we call
  177. 5:36a reducing sugar
  178. 5:41and this just tells us it's still
  179. 5:43capable
  180. 5:45of ring opening
  181. 5:49and closing so in this case it would be
  182. 5:52the hemiacetal
  183. 5:54chemistry the next thing is to look at
  184. 5:58similarities and differences in
  185. 5:59structures when you have a lot of things
  186. 6:00you're trying to learn relatively
  187. 6:02quickly
  188. 6:02if we can go back and think about this
  189. 6:05previous
  190. 6:06two slides we need to know the important
  191. 6:08monosaccharides in terms of their
  192. 6:10cyclized structures
  193. 6:12and then we need to be able to determine
  194. 6:14the polysaccharides linkage
  195. 6:16anomeric carbons reducing and
  196. 6:17non-reducing if you apply this to all of
  197. 6:19these sugars that we're looking at and
  198. 6:20start looking at
  199. 6:21structures similarities and differences
  200. 6:23it helps your brain learn these much
  201. 6:25faster and far more easily be able to
  202. 6:27answer questions so we're going to look
  203. 6:29at some of the similarities and
  204. 6:30differences that we see between chitin
  205. 6:32and cellulose
  206. 6:33so first we're going to start with
  207. 6:34similarities so those things that are
  208. 6:36similar
  209. 6:37we see that in both cases they're going
  210. 6:39to utilize glucose
  211. 6:40as monosaccharides we can see in both of
  212. 6:44these that we're going to
  213. 6:46give rise to beta 1
  214. 6:494 linkages
  215. 6:55when we look in differences so those
  216. 6:57things that are going to be the
  217. 6:58uniquenesses we can see that
  218. 7:00chitin utilizes in acetoglucosamine
  219. 7:03so this is a modified form we have an
  220. 7:05amination reaction of glucose
  221. 7:07and when we look here at cellulose we
  222. 7:10see that we do not have any
  223. 7:12modifications
  224. 7:13we still retain that oh group so that's
  225. 7:16a way to help
  226. 7:16allow for differences in terms of
  227. 7:18similarities and structures
  228. 7:19then you can go ahead and ask yourself
  229. 7:21as a next step also what about function
  230. 7:25in both of these cases these are going
  231. 7:27to play structural role
  232. 7:31these are going to be important in terms
  233. 7:33of protecting
  234. 7:34chitin we see it playing part of the
  235. 7:36exoskeleton
  236. 7:38and cellulose we know half the carbon in
  237. 7:41the biosphere is involved in this this
  238. 7:43is what we see for
  239. 7:44plants and their structure the next
  240. 7:47slide was to have you look at alpha
  241. 7:49amylose and cellulose so again making
  242. 7:51some comparisons and looking at the
  243. 7:53differences in their structures so some
  244. 7:55similarities again
  245. 7:56in terms of looking at these both are
  246. 7:59going to utilize glucose
  247. 8:02and both of these are going to allow for
  248. 8:04a large number of these glucose
  249. 8:06molecules to be present
  250. 8:08if we look at alpha amylose and think of
  251. 8:10some differences
  252. 8:11we have here an alpha 1 4 linkage
  253. 8:14compare that to a cellulose beta 1 4
  254. 8:17linkage
  255. 8:18so really the major structural
  256. 8:19difference is the linkage how important
  257. 8:21is that
  258. 8:21consider the overall structures that we
  259. 8:23get thousands of these linked together
  260. 8:25for alpha amylose this is going to be a
  261. 8:27glucose storage molecule
  262. 8:31that we have within plants
  263. 8:34and when humans consume that
  264. 8:38this is what we call within our diet
  265. 8:40starch
  266. 8:43and so lots of glucose molecules are
  267. 8:45going to get released
  268. 8:46it takes on this helical twist because
  269. 8:49of the way
  270. 8:50these alpha 1-4 linkages work now in
  271. 8:52comparison for cellulose we already said
  272. 8:54that it has a structural role it offers
  273. 8:56protection for plants
  274. 8:59and we know that because of the beta 1 4
  275. 9:02linkages these form were linearized
  276. 9:05and what happens is in between the
  277. 9:06chains that we have a lot of hydrogen
  278. 9:08bonds that start to exist
  279. 9:10that really can help stabilize the
  280. 9:12structure and allow for these to play
  281. 9:15these molecules to play a role that
  282. 9:17really allows for water
  283. 9:19not even to be able to pass through the
  284. 9:21cellulose structure
  285. 9:24so helpful study hints always are going
  286. 9:25to be to look for commonalities and
  287. 9:27structures just like we know
  288. 9:28glucose and galactose they go through
  289. 9:30the same type of
  290. 9:32cyclization we know that we have epimers
  291. 9:35that exist between glucose and galactose
  292. 9:37they only differ by one stereochemistry
  293. 9:40we see that these are both involved in
  294. 9:41forming the disaccharide lactose and we
  295. 9:43can look at the importance of the
  296. 9:44linkage
  297. 9:45we have chitin and emanated form that
  298. 9:48exist of glucose
  299. 9:49plays again an important structural role
  300. 9:51as exoskeletons and then we can compare
  301. 9:53alpha amylose and cellulose
  302. 9:55we know here that we're looking at the
  303. 9:56different differences in linkage
  304. 9:58alpha amyloid plays an important role in
  305. 10:00plants for storing of glucose whereas
  306. 10:02cellular
  307. 10:03cellulose plays an important role in
  308. 10:04plants and allowing for
  309. 10:06their structural protection as well so
  310. 10:09as you approach these looking for
  311. 10:10commonalities looking for differences
  312. 10:12can become helpful and don't just look
  313. 10:14at it from a structural perspective
  314. 10:16start there
  315. 10:17they'll look to see how does the
  316. 10:19structure allow for whatever
  317. 10:20biological function that these
  318. 10:22carbohydrates can have
  319. 10:23hope that's helpful this will be the
  320. 10:25quiz material for next week
