Sucrose: A Disaccharide α-glucosidic linkage β-fructosidic linkage C 2 Glucose 2 C Fructose Lactose Polysaccarides The storage form of glucose in plants is called starch. The two forms of starch are amylose (20%) and amylopectin (80%) Amylose consists typically of more than 1000 D-glucopyranoside units connected by a linkages between C1 of one unit and C4 of the next Amylose adopts a very compact helical arrangement 12
Amylopectin Similar to amylose but has branching points every 20-25 glucose units Branches occur between C1 of one glucose unit and C6 of another Glycogen (animal starch) Branches ~10 units Glycogen is a very large polysaccharide The large size of glycogen prevents if from leaving the storage cell The storage of tens of thousands of glucose molecules into one molecule greatly relieves the osmotic problem for the storage cell (this would be caused by the attempted storage of many individual glucose molecules) The highly branched nature of glycogen allows hydrolytic enzymes to have many chain ends from which glucose molecules can be hydrolyzed 13
Cellulose In cellulose, glucose units are joined by β-1,4 -glycosidic linkages Cellulose chains are relatively straight The linear chains of cellulose hydrogen bond with each other to give the rigid, insoluble fibers found in plant cell walls! The resulting sheets then stack on top of each other umans lack enzymes to cleave the β linkages in cellulose and so cannot use cellulose as 2 C Cellulose: makes up 90% of cotton and 50% of wood Chitin N N N 3 C 3 C 3 subunits of chitin 3 C R 3 C N P P N N Uridine diphosphate galactose N-Acetyl (UDP-GalNAc)+ glycosyltransferase A (GTA) 3 C Type Determinate: α-fucopyranose --> β-galactopyranose P P N N Uridine diphosphate galactose (UDP- Gal)+ glycosyltransferase B (GTB) 3 C 3 C N R R Type A Determinate: α-galactopyranose N-acetyl --> β-galactopyranose --> α-fucopyranose 3 C GTA and GTB differ by only 4 amino acids +/ blood is a result of the Rh factor agglutinogens JCE, 2005, 82 (12), 1846 Type B Determinate: α-galactopyranose --> β-galactopyranose --> α-fucopyranose 14
