Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Structure for the pyranose and furanose forms of the D-ribose are to be drawn and a distinction between methyl ribopyranoside and methyl ribofuranoside molecules using periodate oxidation is to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
▸ The pyranoses are six-membered monosaccharide ring structures. The furanoses are five-membered monosaccharide ring structures.
▸ The Fischer projection and Haworth’s formulas are different ways of representing the

- Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention. Apart from the furane and/or pyrane cycles all atoms of this molecule must be given.arrow_forwardGive the major organic product that is formed when the primary hydroxyl group of the following monosaccharide undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with acetic anhydridearrow_forwardIdentify the organic functional group and reaction type for the following reaction.

- Humans are able to digest amylose, but not cellulose. What structural features of these polysaccharides might be responsible for this? O amylose contains only beta glycosidic bonds where cellulose contains alpha glycosidic bonds O amylose contains only beta glycosidic bonds where cellulose contains alpha glycosidic bonds amylose contains only alpha peptide bonds where cellulose contains beta peptide bonds amylose contains only alpha glycosidic bonds where cellulose contains beta glycosidic bondsarrow_forwardTreating chitin with H2O, -OH hydrolyzes its amide linkages, forming a compound called chitosan. What is the structure of chitosan? Chitosan has been used in shampoos, bers for sutures, and wound dressings.arrow_forwardα-Amino acids can be prepared by treating an aldehyde with ammonia/trace acid, followed by hydrogen cyanide, followed by acid-catalyzed hydrolysis.
