Interpretation:
The amino sugar rings in the given structure has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates (sugars) are naturally-occurring polyhydroxy
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, having a hydrocarbon chain that carries alcohol functional groups on all but one carbon. The remaining carbon may carry an aldehyde group (in the case of an aldose) or a ketone group (in the case of ketoses).
Amino sugars are carbohydrate derivatives in which an

Interpretation:
The unmodified sugar ring in the given structure has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates (sugars) are naturally-occurring polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones.
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, having a hydrocarbon chain that carries alcohol functional groups on all but one carbon. The remaining carbon may carry an aldehyde group (in the case of an aldose) or a ketone group (in the case of ketoses).

- Imagine 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_forward1) Please list all glycosidic linkages between each monosaccharide units. For example, α(1→4)2) Please discuss whether these oligo/polysaccharides would be reducing or non-reducing sugar. Remember to state your reasoning in complete sentence.arrow_forwarddraw disaccharide as Haworth projection: (shown in image) -is this drawing a reducing sugar? Briefly explainarrow_forward
- Draw the structure of the disaccharide with a systematic name of: (1→6)-B-1) glucopyranosyl-B-D-fructofuranosidearrow_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_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] (a) D- Fructosearrow_forward
- Consider the following statements: (1) The term sugar is a general designation for both monosaccharides and disaccharides. (2) The "penultimate carbon" in a monosaccharide is used to determine D- or L-configuration. (3) Sucrose is a reducing sugar and lactose is a nonreducing sugar. O Two of the three statements are true. All three statements are true. O Only one of the statements is true. None of the statements are true.arrow_forwardAn octapeptide was hydrolyzed and the amino acids separated. Its amino acid composition was determined: Gly (1); Ala (2); Val (1); Lys (2); Met (1); Asp (1). After incubation with FDNB and hydrolysis, 2,4-dinitrophenylalanine was detected. NO2 H H N C COOH ON- CH, Treatment with cyanogen bromide, which cleaves at M, resulted in two fragments: a pentapeptide containing two K residues and a tripeptide containing V, G, and A. The residues are not listed in any particular order. After treatment with trypsin, which cleaves at R and K, there were three fragments: two dipeptides and MGAV. What is the sequence of the octapeptide? Use the one-letter abbreviations for the amino acids, and do not use dashes.arrow_forwardDraw a Fischer projection of L-fucose and L-hexose. What are the similarities in their structure?arrow_forward
