Interpretation: The number of anomeric carbon atoms that are present in the given cyclic form of
Concept introduction: The simplest hydrolyzed form that is obtained from the carbohydrates is known as monosaccharide.
A compound that possesses a carbon atom which is attached with a hydroxyl group as well as with an alkoxy group is known as hemiacetal compound. This carbon atom that is attached with both hydroxyl group and alkoxy group is known as hemiacetal carbon.
Carbon atom which behaves as a stereocenter in the cyclic form of the hemiacetal compound is known as anomeric carbon.

- Rhaminose is a trisaccharide comprised of fructose (B(2→1), fructose (B(2→1) and glucose. Draw the trisaccharide with the hexose in its chair conformations. Indicate the anomeric carbons, the non-reducing end and any other structural details of interest.arrow_forwardDraw the two possible Haworth structures (both alpha and beta anomers) for the following monosaccharides and give their corresponding systematic names. [Show the stepwise process] D-Ribose D-Galactose D- Fructosearrow_forwardThe polymer chains of glycosaminoglycans are widelyspread apart and bind large amounts of water.a. What two functional groups of the polymer make thisbinding of water possible?b. What type of bonding is involved?arrow_forward
- Classify the fatty acid with the following structural formula in the ways indicated. COOH a. What is the type designation (SFA, MUFA, or PUFA) for this fatty acid? b. On the basis of carbon chain length and degree of unsaturation, what is the numerical shorthand designation for this fatty acid? c. To which "omega" family of fatty acids does this fatty acid belong? d. What is the “delta" designation for the carbon chain double-bond location for this fatty acid?arrow_forwardImagine a trisaccharide that has D-Altrose, D-Gulose, and D-Ribose. D-Altrose is bonded to D-Gulose in an α(1→4) glycosidic bond and D-Ribose is bonded to D-Altrose in an α(1→6) glycosidic bond. Draw the imaginary trisaccharide using Haworth projection with the appropriate representation of each monosaccharide.arrow_forwardTrehalose, also known as mycose, is a disaccharide found in certain mushrooms. It is composed of two a-D-glucose linked in a aa(1à1) glycosidic bond. Using Haworth projection, draw the structure of trehalose. Indicate whether it is reducing or non-reducing.arrow_forward
- Assume you have a long polypeptide chain of Gly-Val dipeptides linked end to end. Explain the likely tertiary structure of this polypeptide chain. For example, is the chain likely to form an alpha helix, a beta sheet, or some other structure? Is the structure likely to display lots of folding, or very little folding? Can you make any other predictions about the tertiary structure? Explain your reasoning in a well-developed paragraph.arrow_forwardGentiobiose (D-Glc(ß1→6)D-Glc) is a disaccharide found in some plant glycosides. Draw the Haworth structure of gentiobiose based on its abbreviated name. Show all multiatom groups using the groups tool. Show stereochemistry using wedge (upward) or dash (downward) bonds.arrow_forwardAlginic acid, isolated from seaweed and used as athickening agent for ice cream and other foods, is apolymer of d-mannuronic acid with b(1,4) glycosidiclinkages.a. Draw the structure of alginic acid.b. Why does this substance act as a thickening agent?arrow_forward
- What is the molecular weight of a linear polysaccharide consisting of 7 galactose monomers and 1 terminal glucose monomer? The molecular weight of glucose (C6H12O6) is 180.156 g/mol. Remember that the types glycosidic of linkages are irrelevant for calculating the molecular weight. Write your answer in terms g/mol.arrow_forwardDraw the two possible Haworth structures (both alpha and beta anomers) for the following monosaccharides and give their corresponding systematic names. [Show the stepwise process]arrow_forwardUsing the tree structures for the following monosaccharides and comparing to that for glucose, draw the structures of the following: A. tree (Fischer) structures of: D-mannose and L-mannose B. ring structures of alpha-D-mannose, beta-D-mannose, alpha-L-mannose, and beta-L-mannose Draw the ring (Haworth) structures as 6-membered pyranoses, being careful to show the positions of the hydroxyl groups above or below the plane of the ring.arrow_forward
