Biomolecules Lecture-3
Structural formulas for monosaccharides
Fischer represented the D(+)- glucose with cross formulation
This type of formulation ${-}$ fischer projection
Haworth formula
Anomeric carbon atom
In carbohydarte chemistry diastereomers differing only at the hemiacetal or acetal carbon are called anomers and the hemiacetal or acetal carbon atoms is called the anomeric carbon atom
If the monosaccharide ring is six membered ${-}$ pyranose
Furanose
Furan
Structure of glucose
$\alpha$- D- (+)Glucopyranose
$\beta$- D- (+)Glucopyranose
The proton transfer step occurs between seperate molecules
Problem
Mutarotation
Glycoside formation
Anomeric effect is believed to be caused by hyperconjugation
Glycoside
Mannose ${-}$ Mannoside
Fructose ${-}$ fructoside
