Full transcript
- 0:00so in this part of supplemental material
- 0:02i want to give you some more information
- 0:04working through carbohydrates looking at
- 0:06those as monosaccharides and also
- 0:07considering
- 0:08um how monosaccharides become building
- 0:10blocks for polysaccharides and how these
- 0:12can allow for unique structural
- 0:14properties
- 0:15so the first is to look at glucose and
- 0:17galactose
- 0:18i think about how these can cyclize
- 0:21the way that these sugar molecules exist
- 0:24are in the cyclic forms in the cell
- 0:26how does the cyclicization happen as
- 0:28well as a difference in these structures
- 0:29some important definitions we can look
- 0:31at
- 0:32also looking at the involvement of
- 0:33monosaccharides in the structure of
- 0:34lactose
- 0:35we can consider linkage identify numeric
- 0:37carbons and also discuss whether this
- 0:40uh lactose is reducing or not reducing
- 0:42sugar
- 0:43so the first is to have you all practice
- 0:45drying out these structures
- 0:47obviously you need to know all the
- 0:49structures in the boxes
- 0:51but definitely glucose galactose and
- 0:53fructose are going to be the ones that
- 0:55we see the most and
- 0:56obviously glucose of the three is
- 0:58probably even the most important and
- 1:00looking at derivatives
- 1:01so anytime you study studying in
- 1:03hierarchy um where
- 1:04the things you're going to see the most
- 1:05or the ones you need to know definitely
- 1:07make sure that you understand
- 1:08um glucose cyclicization work your way
- 1:11through galactose
- 1:12fructose and then start learning each of
- 1:14the others
- 1:15so this is draw the cichlid structures
- 1:17as they exist in the cell
- 1:19and how does the cyclicization happen
- 1:21and what is the difference in the
- 1:22structure so both galactose and glucose
- 1:24are going to be
- 1:26um aldo hexoses which means they're
- 1:28going to prefer
- 1:29the parent form it's the most stable
- 1:31which is a six-membered ring
- 1:33when we look at the six-membered ring
- 1:35this means that there's going to be five
- 1:36carbons in one oxygen
- 1:38so if we start here at carbon one this
- 1:41is where our aldehyde functional group
- 1:43is
- 1:43this is where we have the ability of
- 1:45nucleophilic attack
- 1:47we have to have five carbons that
- 1:48cyclize through this
- 1:50um uh sorry you have to have five
- 1:53carbons in the pure and cyclic structure
- 1:55and then the oxygen forms the sixth
- 1:57member that's going to be the
- 1:58nucleophile
- 1:59so we would have to count one carbon two
- 2:02three four
- 2:02five so my fifth carbon and then i see
- 2:04that my oh is going to serve as the
- 2:06nucleophile
- 2:07so this is how we have our ring
- 2:10closing and we're going to do
- 2:12nucleophilic attack
- 2:13on our carbonyl we're going to push the
- 2:15electrons up into the carbonyl oxygen
- 2:17pick up a proton
- 2:19and we're going to allow for
- 2:20cyclicization so this is the formation
- 2:23of the new bond
- 2:24this is going to be the anomeric carbon
- 2:29and we know that through ring opening
- 2:31and closing
- 2:32we can have in this case pointed in the
- 2:36same
- 2:36orientation as our beta conformation
- 2:40if we have our anomeric carbon pointed
- 2:42in the opposite orientation then it
- 2:43would be in the alpha conformation
- 2:45both of those are possible just depends
- 2:47on directionality of which nucleophilic
- 2:49attack happens
- 2:50so that's the important thing for
- 2:51cyclicalization we have the same thing
- 2:53when it comes to glucose
- 2:56and ring structure is going to be formed
- 2:59we have here formation of our new
- 3:01covalent bond and we also have
- 3:03that beta conformation with respect to
- 3:05our anomalous carbon
- 3:08so in both cases we see our carbon one
- 3:11that becomes anomier carbon okay the
- 3:14next question says what are some of the
- 3:16differences in the structure
- 3:17so if we look at galactose and glucose
- 3:19these structures are identical the only
- 3:21difference is going to be
- 3:22stereochemistry about carbon 4. because
- 3:26of that by definition we call these
- 3:28epimers
- 3:29because they only differ in
- 3:31stereochemistry at one carbon
- 3:33so when we look at the structures this
- 3:34is highlighted here in red
- 3:36we would see that structure the flipping
- 3:39with respect to the oh group to this
- 3:44particular carbon four um where we have
- 3:46these different
- 3:47um forms so make sure as you draw these
- 3:51we think about them in terms of the
- 3:52linear structure how they cyclize
- 3:54and drawing cyclic structure so taking
- 3:56from monosaccharides these then become
- 3:58building blocks for other disaccharides
- 4:00and polysaccharides the next part was to
- 4:02get you to look at the involvement of
- 4:03these monosaccharides in terms of
- 4:05structure of lactose which we know
- 4:06lactose is a disaccharide so we're going
- 4:09to look at how galactose and glucose
- 4:11link together
- 4:12identify involvement of anomeric carbons
- 4:14determine if this is a reducing or
- 4:15non-reducing sugar
- 4:17so the first thing when we look at the
- 4:19structure
- 4:20is this leading sugar is going to use
- 4:23its anomeric carbon
- 4:25in order to form the glycosidic bond
- 4:30so what we see here is carbon 1 is the
- 4:32anomeric carbon of
- 4:34galactose and we see that this bond is
- 4:37pointing
- 4:38up same directionality as we see with
- 4:40carbon 6
- 4:41so that tells us it's a beta
- 4:43conformation for the linkage then we
- 4:45have to see how it attaches to the
- 4:47second sugar
- 4:48in this case we're going to have glucose
- 4:50and we see that its attachment is to
- 4:52carbon 4. so for linkage we put beta
- 4:55linkage one between carbon four so beta
- 4:57orientation of anomeric carbon one and
- 4:59it links to
- 5:00carbon four which is the non-anomeric
- 5:03carbon of glucose
- 5:04so if i want to identify anomeric
- 5:06carbons these are gonna be carbon one
- 5:09i would see the anomeric carbons in both
- 5:11of my structures we know that the
- 5:13enormous carbon of galactose is involved
- 5:15in
- 5:15the glycosidic bond linkage beta 1 4 and
- 5:18we see that the anomeric carbon of
- 5:20glucose
- 5:21is still capable of ring opening and
- 5:22closing that tells us then
- 5:25because we can still flip between
- 5:29the alpha and the beta um anomeric
- 5:33carbon
- 5:33these animals that this is going to be
- 5:35what we call
- 5:36a reducing sugar
- 5:41and this just tells us it's still
- 5:43capable
- 5:45of ring opening
- 5:49and closing so in this case it would be
- 5:52the hemiacetal
- 5:54chemistry the next thing is to look at
- 5:58similarities and differences in
- 5:59structures when you have a lot of things
- 6:00you're trying to learn relatively
- 6:02quickly
- 6:02if we can go back and think about this
- 6:05previous
- 6:06two slides we need to know the important
- 6:08monosaccharides in terms of their
- 6:10cyclized structures
- 6:12and then we need to be able to determine
- 6:14the polysaccharides linkage
- 6:16anomeric carbons reducing and
- 6:17non-reducing if you apply this to all of
- 6:19these sugars that we're looking at and
- 6:20start looking at
- 6:21structures similarities and differences
- 6:23it helps your brain learn these much
- 6:25faster and far more easily be able to
- 6:27answer questions so we're going to look
- 6:29at some of the similarities and
- 6:30differences that we see between chitin
- 6:32and cellulose
- 6:33so first we're going to start with
- 6:34similarities so those things that are
- 6:36similar
- 6:37we see that in both cases they're going
- 6:39to utilize glucose
- 6:40as monosaccharides we can see in both of
- 6:44these that we're going to
- 6:46give rise to beta 1
- 6:494 linkages
- 6:55when we look in differences so those
- 6:57things that are going to be the
- 6:58uniquenesses we can see that
- 7:00chitin utilizes in acetoglucosamine
- 7:03so this is a modified form we have an
- 7:05amination reaction of glucose
- 7:07and when we look here at cellulose we
- 7:10see that we do not have any
- 7:12modifications
- 7:13we still retain that oh group so that's
- 7:16a way to help
- 7:16allow for differences in terms of
- 7:18similarities and structures
- 7:19then you can go ahead and ask yourself
- 7:21as a next step also what about function
- 7:25in both of these cases these are going
- 7:27to play structural role
- 7:31these are going to be important in terms
- 7:33of protecting
- 7:34chitin we see it playing part of the
- 7:36exoskeleton
- 7:38and cellulose we know half the carbon in
- 7:41the biosphere is involved in this this
- 7:43is what we see for
- 7:44plants and their structure the next
- 7:47slide was to have you look at alpha
- 7:49amylose and cellulose so again making
- 7:51some comparisons and looking at the
- 7:53differences in their structures so some
- 7:55similarities again
- 7:56in terms of looking at these both are
- 7:59going to utilize glucose
- 8:02and both of these are going to allow for
- 8:04a large number of these glucose
- 8:06molecules to be present
- 8:08if we look at alpha amylose and think of
- 8:10some differences
- 8:11we have here an alpha 1 4 linkage
- 8:14compare that to a cellulose beta 1 4
- 8:17linkage
- 8:18so really the major structural
- 8:19difference is the linkage how important
- 8:21is that
- 8:21consider the overall structures that we
- 8:23get thousands of these linked together
- 8:25for alpha amylose this is going to be a
- 8:27glucose storage molecule
- 8:31that we have within plants
- 8:34and when humans consume that
- 8:38this is what we call within our diet
- 8:40starch
- 8:43and so lots of glucose molecules are
- 8:45going to get released
- 8:46it takes on this helical twist because
- 8:49of the way
- 8:50these alpha 1-4 linkages work now in
- 8:52comparison for cellulose we already said
- 8:54that it has a structural role it offers
- 8:56protection for plants
- 8:59and we know that because of the beta 1 4
- 9:02linkages these form were linearized
- 9:05and what happens is in between the
- 9:06chains that we have a lot of hydrogen
- 9:08bonds that start to exist
- 9:10that really can help stabilize the
- 9:12structure and allow for these to play
- 9:15these molecules to play a role that
- 9:17really allows for water
- 9:19not even to be able to pass through the
- 9:21cellulose structure
- 9:24so helpful study hints always are going
- 9:25to be to look for commonalities and
- 9:27structures just like we know
- 9:28glucose and galactose they go through
- 9:30the same type of
- 9:32cyclization we know that we have epimers
- 9:35that exist between glucose and galactose
- 9:37they only differ by one stereochemistry
- 9:40we see that these are both involved in
- 9:41forming the disaccharide lactose and we
- 9:43can look at the importance of the
- 9:44linkage
- 9:45we have chitin and emanated form that
- 9:48exist of glucose
- 9:49plays again an important structural role
- 9:51as exoskeletons and then we can compare
- 9:53alpha amylose and cellulose
- 9:55we know here that we're looking at the
- 9:56different differences in linkage
- 9:58alpha amyloid plays an important role in
- 10:00plants for storing of glucose whereas
- 10:02cellular
- 10:03cellulose plays an important role in
- 10:04plants and allowing for
- 10:06their structural protection as well so
- 10:09as you approach these looking for
- 10:10commonalities looking for differences
- 10:12can become helpful and don't just look
- 10:14at it from a structural perspective
- 10:16start there
- 10:17they'll look to see how does the
- 10:19structure allow for whatever
- 10:20biological function that these
- 10:22carbohydrates can have
- 10:23hope that's helpful this will be the
- 10:25quiz material for next week
