    Study Notes

    Carbohydrate Chemistry - Year 1

    • Academic Year: 2024-2025
    • Semester: 1
    • Module: Human Body Function (HBF-102)
    • Course: Biochemistry
    • Institution: Helwan National University
    • Faculty: Faculty of Medicine
    • Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Mohamed I. Kotb & Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ahmed M.A. Akabawy
    • Department: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

    Objectives

    • Define carbohydrates and list their biological importance
    • Classify carbohydrates
    • Define, categorize, and describe the structural composition of monosaccharides with examples
    • Explain the significant biological properties of monosaccharides
    • Define isomerism and list types with examples
    • Create a list of monosaccharide derivatives

    Introduction

    • Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules in nature.
    • Carbohydrates comprise monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccarides.

    Classification of Carbohydrates

    • Monosaccharides: These cannot be broken down into simpler sugars by hydrolysis. Examples include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
    • Disaccharides: Formed by the combination of two monosaccharides through a glycosidic bond. Examples include lactose and sucrose.
    • Oligosaccharides: Composed of three to ten monosaccharides linked together via glycosidic bonds.
    • Polysaccharides: Composed of more than ten monosaccharides, these serve various functions in the body. Examples include starch and glycogen.

    Classification of Monosaccharides

    • Trioses: 3 carbon atoms

    • Tetroses: 4 carbon atoms

    • Pentoses: 5 carbon atoms

    • Hexoses: 6 carbon atoms

    • Aldoses: Contain an aldehyde group (-CHO)

    • Ketoses: Contain a ketone group (-C=O)

    Monosaccharides: Structure

    • The most important natural monosaccharide is D-glucose.
    • It's an aliphatic aldehyde with six carbon atoms, five of which bear hydroxyl groups.
    • It exists in both open-chain and cyclic forms.
    • Monosaccharides, like glucose, can exist in different ring forms (pyranose and furanose)

    Medical and Biological Importance of CHO

    • Serve as energy sources and stores.
    • Are components of several animal and plant structures.
    • Act as cell membrane components.
    • Participate in intercellular communication.
    • Are parts of DNA and RNA structures.
    • Are found in various drugs.
    • Are components of complex lipids and proteins.
    • Lactose is a crucial milk sugar.
    • Metabolic disorders related to CHO can impact human health, exemplified by diabetes mellitus, galactosemia, and lactose intolerance.

    Isomerism

    • Stereoisomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but differ in the spatial arrangement of their atoms.
    • Structural isomers differ in the bonding sequence of carbon atoms.
    • Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diasteroisomers.
    • Enantiomers are non-superimposable mirror images of each other.
    • Diastereomers are stereoisomers that are not mirror images.
      • Epimers are a specific type of diastereomer that differ in the configuration around only one specific chiral carbon.
      • Anomers are a specific type of epimerism relating to glucose where the configuration differs around the anomeric carbon. Anomeric carbons are carbons, typically 1, in the ring structures of monosaccharides.

    Optical Isomerism

    • Optical activity is the capacity of a substance to rotate plane-polarized light.
    • Chiral molecules rotate plane-polarized light.

    Mutarotation

    • The process by which the cyclic form of a sugar changes between its a and b anomers in solution.
    • The conversion is a spontaneous equilibrium process.

    Monosaccharide Derivatives

    • Sugar phosphates
    • Deoxy sugars (e.g., 2-deoxy-D-ribose)
    • Amino sugars (e.g., glucosamine)
    • Sugar alcohols (e.g., glycerol, ribitol)
    • Sugar acids (e.g., glucuronic acid)

    Enzymes and Isomerism

    • Enzymes distinguish between the isomers of glucose and other sugars to perform metabolic processes.
    • This selectivity determines which structural forms of sugars are preferentially utilized and synthesized by enzymes.

    Interactive Questions

    • General formula of carbohydrates?
    • Example of optical isomerism in carbohydrates?
    • Example of a ketose sugar
    • Monosaccharide component of RNA
    • What is the anomeric carbon and importance?
