5 Carbohydrates Carbohydrate: a polyhydroxyaldehyde or polyhydroxyketone, or a substance that contain C:: and : ratio is 2:1 (as water) ~ose designate sugars. Monosaccharide: a carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed to a simpler carbohydrate they have the general formula C n 2n n, where n varies from 3 to 8 Monosaccharide maybe aldose: a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group ketose: a monosaccharide containing a ketone group 16-5

6 Monosaccharides Monosaccharides are classified by their number of carbon atoms Name triose tetrose pentose hexose heptose octose Formul a C C C C C C

7 Fischer Projections Fischer projection: a two dimensional representation for showing the configuration of tetrahedral horizontal lines represent bonds projecting forward vertical lines represent bonds projecting to the rear C C convert to a Fi scher projection C C 2 D-Glyceraldehyde C 2 D-Glyceraldehyde 16-7

8 Monosaccharides There are only two trioses C C C 2 Glyceraldehyde (an aldotriose) C 2 C = C 2 D ihydroxyacetone (a ketotriose) aldo- and keto- are often omitted and these compounds are referred to simply as trioses; although this designation does not tell the nature of the carbonyl group, it at least tells the number of carbons 16-8

11 exoses of physiologic importance. Sugar Source Importance Clinical Significance D-Glucose Fruit juices. ydrolysis of starch, cane sugar, maltose, and lactose. The sugar of the body. carried by blood the principal one used by the tissues Present in the urine (glucosuria) in diabetes mellitus owing to raised blood glucose (hyperglycemia). D-Fructose Fruit juices. oney. ydrolysis of cane sugar and of inulin. Can be changed to glucose in the liver ereditary fructose intolerance leads to fructose accumulation and hypoglycemia

12 exoses of physiologic importance. Sugar Source Importance Clinical Significance D-Galactose ydrolysis of lactose. Can be changed to glucose in the liver and metabolized. Synthesized in the mammary gland to make the lactose of milk. A constituent of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Failure to metabolize leads to galactosemia and cataract. D-Mannose ydrolysis of plant mannans and gums. A constituent of many glycoproteins

13 Sucralose ( Splenda ) Discovered in 1976, sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar and does not metabolize to produce energy, thus it does not contain calories. It is the only low calorie sweetener that is made from sugar, which has been changed so passes through the body unchanged and unmetabolized. Substituting for three alcohol groups on the sugar molecule with 3 chlorine atoms

14 Stevia Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana which is grown in Brazil and Paraguay. Stevia has no calories, and it is 200 times sweeter than sugar in the same concentration

15 Monosaccharides Glyceraldehyde contains a stereocenter (chiral C) and exists as a pair of stereoisomers (enantiomers) C C C C C 2 D-Glyceraldehyde C 2 L-Glyceraldehyde Note: Number of stereoisomers= 2 n n is the number of stereocenters (chiral carbon) 16-15

20 Cyclic Structure Monosaccharides especially pentoses and hexoses have - and C= groups in the same molecule and exist almost entirely as five- and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals or hemiketal emiacetal : bond between C= on C1 (aldehyde) and - on last chiral C emiketal: bond between C= on C2 (ketone) and - on last chiral C Cyclic strusture will display extra chiral carbon (anomeric carbon) anomeric carbon: the new stereocenter resulting from cyclic hemiacetal or hemiketal formation anomers: monosaccharides that differ in configuration only at their anomeric carbons 16-20

21 aworth Projections aworth projections five- and six-membered hemiacetals are represented as planar pentagons or hexagons most commonly written with the anomeric carbon on the right and the hemiacetal oxygen to the back right the designation - means that - on the anomeric carbon is cis to the terminal -C 2 (above the plane); - means that it is trans to the terminal -C 2 (below the plane) The groups on the right in Fischer below in aworth.
