Study Notes
Carbohydrate Chemistry - Lecture Notes
- This lecture covers carbohydrate chemistry, specifically focusing on the structure and function of carbohydrates.
- The academic year is 2024-2025, semester 1, and the module is Human Body Function (HBF-102). The course is taught by Professor Dr. Mohamed I. Kotb and Dr. Ahmed M. A. Akabawy at Helwan National University.
- Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules in nature.
- Carbohydrates include monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
- Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler units.
- They are classified by the number of carbon atoms (triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, etc.) and whether they have an aldehyde or ketone group. Examples include glucose, fructose, and ribose.
- Glucose is an important source of energy in mammals.
- Fructose and galactose are other important monosaccharides.
- Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are linked through glycosidic bonds. Examples include lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose.
- Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, used for energy storage (e.g., glycogen in animals) and structural support (e.g., cellulose in plants).
- Carbohydrates are essential components of cell membranes and play important roles in DNA, RNA, and various other molecules.
- Carbohydrates are also crucial parts of various biological processes, including energy production and storage, and forming structures such as plant cell walls and animal tissues.
Objectives
- Define carbohydrates and their biological importance.
- Classify carbohydrates.
- Define, classify, and describe the structural composition of monosaccharides.
- Describe the biological importance of monosaccharides (Energy source, structural components, components of DNA and RNA, and part of different drugs).
- Define isomerism and mention various forms with examples.
- List monosaccharide derivatives.
Introduction
- The four major classes of biomolecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
- The lecture focuses on carbohydrates, illustrating that they are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
- The general formula is [C(H₂O)]n, emphasizing that carbohydrates are often called "hydrates of carbon"
- The diagram in the slides illustrates how carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule.
Classification of Carbohydrates
- Monosaccharides: simplest form, cannot be broken down further. Classified by the number of carbon atoms.
- Disaccharides: two monosaccharides joined.
- Oligosaccharides: 3-10 monosaccharides joined.
- Polysaccharides: many monosaccharides joined.
Classification of Monosaccharides
- Classified by the number of carbons and whether they are aldoses or ketoses.
Monosaccharides: Structure
- D-glucose is a crucial natural monosaccharide.
- D- glucose has a linear form and forms ring structures.
- Illustrates different forms of glucose, including open-chain and ring structures.
Biological Importance of Monosaccharides
- Glucose is the main source of energy for mammals.
- Fructose is another important energy source, particularly for sperm.
- Galactose is involved in lactose (milk sugar).
Isomerism
- Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.
Types of Isomerism
- Structural isomerism: Different bonding arrangements of atoms.
- Stereoisomerism: Same bonding arrangement of atoms but different spatial orientation.
