Biomolecules - MUTAROTATION

Definition:
- Mutarotation refers to the rapid interconversion of anomers (α and β forms) of a hemiacetal or hemicetal in solution.
Explanation:
- It involves the breaking and reforming of glycosidic bond, resulting in the equilibration between α and β anomers.
Process:
- It occurs in a cyclic process, starting from α or β form and converting back to a mixture of both forms.
Significance:
- Mutarotation affects the optical rotation and physical properties of carbohydrates.
Example:
- For example, glucose exists in α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose forms, which can interconvert through mutarotation.

Carbohydrate Nomenclature

Definition:
- Carbohydrate nomenclature is a system of naming and categorizing carbohydrates based on their structure and properties.
Monosaccharides:
- Simplest carbohydrates; non-hydrolyzable to smaller carbohydrates.
- Examples: glucose, fructose, ribose.
Oligosaccharides:
- Carbohydrates composed of 2-10 monosaccharide units.
- Examples: sucrose, lactose, maltose.
Polysaccharides:
- Complex carbohydrates composed of more than 10 monosaccharide units.
- Examples: starch, cellulose, glycogen.
Isomerism:
- Monosaccharides can exhibit structural, stereoisomeric, and functional group isomerism.

Cyclic Structure of Monosaccharides

Monosaccharides :
- Linear and cyclic structures coexist in solution due to the presence of aldehyde or ketone functional groups.
- Example: glucose exists in linear and cyclic (pyranose or furanose) forms.
Haworth Projection:
- Used to depict cyclic structures of monosaccharides.
Anomeric Carbon:
- Carbon atom involved in the formation of the glycosidic bond.
α and β Anomers:
- Two possible forms (epimers) of a cyclic monosaccharide, differing in the configuration of the anomeric carbon.
Ring Structure:
- Cyclic monosaccharides have a ring structure due to intramolecular hemiacetal or hemicetal formation.

Types of Carbohydrate Isomerism

Structural Isomerism:
- Carbohydrates with the same molecular formula but different structural arrangements.
- Example: glucose and fructose.
Stereoisomerism:
- Carbohydrates with the same structural formula but different spatial arrangement.
- Example: α-D-glucose and β-D-glucose.
Optical Isomerism:
- Carbohydrates that differ only in their ability to rotate plane-polarized light.
- Example: D-glucose and L-glucose.
Epimerism:
- Carbohydrates that differ in the spatial configuration at one specific carbon atom.
- Example: α-D-glucose and α-D-galactose.
Functional Group Isomerism:
- Carbohydrates with different functional groups.
- Example: glucose (aldehyde) and fructose (ketone).

Classification of Carbohydrates

Monosaccharides:
- Simplest carbohydrates consisting of a single sugar unit.
- Can be classified as aldoses or ketoses based on the presence of aldehyde or ketone group.
Aldoses:
- Monosaccharides having an aldehyde group.
- Example: glucose, ribose.
Ketoses:
- Monosaccharides having a ketone group.
- Example: fructose.
Disaccharides:
- Carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic bond.
- Example: sucrose, lactose.
Oligosaccharides:
- Carbohydrates composed of 3-10 monosaccharides.
- Example: raffinose, stachyose.
Polysaccharides:
- Complex carbohydrates composed of many monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds.
- Example: starch, cellulose.

Naming Monosaccharides

Trivial Names:
- Common names based on the source or properties of the monosaccharide.
- Example: glucose, fructose.
Aldose Nomenclature:
- Aldoses are named by replacing the -ose ending of the parent alkane with -al.
- Example: glyceraldehyde.
Ketose Nomenclature:
- Ketoses are named by replacing the -ose ending of the parent alkane with -one.
- Example: dihydroxyacetone.
IUPAC Nomenclature:
- Systematic nomenclature based on the IUPAC rules for naming organic compounds.
- Example: (2S,3R,4S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxypentanal.

Fisher Projection

Definition:
- A method used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules in a two-dimensional format.
Fischer Projection Formula:
- Vertical lines represent atoms coming towards the observer, while horizontal lines represent atoms going away from the observer.
Configuration:
- D or R configuration is assigned based on the orientation of the hydroxyl group on the penultimate (second-to-last) carbon.
D-L Notation:
- Enantiomers with the same absolute configuration at all chiral centers are classified as D or L based on the configuration of the highest numbered asymmetric carbon.

Examples of Fischer Projection

D-Glucose:
- A naturally occurring monosaccharide found in food.
- Commonly referred to as “blood sugar.”
D-Fructose:
- A monosaccharide found in fruits, honey, and high fructose corn syrup.
- Highest sweetening power among all monosaccharides.
D-Ribose:
- A monosaccharide found in RNA and other nucleic acids.
- Participates in energy metabolism.
D-Galactose:
- A monosaccharide found in lactose (milk sugar) and various other glycoconjugates.

<li><strong>Amino Acid Structure</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Amino acids are composed of an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain.</li>

<li>There are 20 common amino acids found in proteins, each with a distinct side chain.</li>
<li>Examples of amino acids include alanine, glycine, and leucine.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<ol start="23">
<li><strong>Primary Structure of Proteins</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>The primary structure of a protein refers to the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain.</li>
<li>The sequence is determined by the genetic code, which specifies the order of amino acids.</li>

</ul>
<hr>
<ol start="25">
<li><strong>Tertiary Structure of Proteins</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>

</ul>
<hr>
<ol start="26">
<li><strong>Quaternary Structure of Proteins</strong></li>

<li>The arrangement of these subunits is essential for the protein’s function.</li>
<li>Examples of proteins with quaternary structure include hemoglobin and antibodies.</li>
<li>The quaternary structure is stabilized by various interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<ol start="27">
<li><strong>Denaturation of Proteins</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Denaturation refers to the disruption of the protein’s native structure, leading to loss of its biological activity.</li>
<li>Denaturation can be caused by various factors, including heat, pH extremes, and chemical denaturants.</li>
<li>Denatured proteins often lose their secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures.</li>
<li>Examples of denaturation include the coagulation of egg white proteins when heated and the precipitation of proteins in acidic conditions.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<ol start="28">
<li><strong>Protein Folding and Misfolding</strong></li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Protein folding is the process by which a polypeptide chain adopts its native three-dimensional structure.</li>
<li>It is a complex process guided by the protein’s primary structure and various folding factors.</li>
<li>Misfolding occurs when a protein fails to adopt its native structure correctly.</li>
<li>Misfolded proteins can lead to protein aggregation and the formation of protein aggregates, such as amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease.</li>
