Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides - simple sugars with multiple OH groups. Based on number of carbons (3, 4, 5, 6), a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, pentose or hexose. Disaccharides - 2 monosaccharides covalently linked. Oligosaccharides - a few monosaccharides covalently linked. Polysaccharides - polymers consisting of chains of monosaccharide or disaccharide units.
Monosaccharides
Aldoses (e.g., glucose) have an aldehyde group at one end.

Sugar Nomenclature

For sugars with more than one chiral center, D or L refers to the asymmetric C farthest from the aldehyde or keto group. Most naturally occurring sugars are D isomers.

H C OH HO C H Other stereoisomers H C OH HO C H have unique names, CH2OH CH2OH e.g., glucose, mannose, D-glucose L-glucose galactose, etc. The number of stereoisomers is 2n, where n is the number of asymmetric centers. The 6-C aldoses have 4 asymmetric centers. Thus there are 16 stereoisomers (8 D-sugars and 8 Lsugars).

Pentoses and hexoses can cyclize as the ketone or aldehyde reacts with a distal OH. Glucose forms an intra-molecular hemiacetal, as the C1 aldehyde & C5 OH react, to form a 6member pyranose ring, named after pyran. These representations of the cyclic sugars are called Haworth projections.

Fructose forms either a 6-member pyranose ring, by reaction of the C2 keto group with the OH on C6, or a 5-member furanose ring, by reaction of the C2 keto group with the OH on C5.

Cyclization of glucose produces a new asymmetric center at C1. The 2 stereoisomers are called anomers, & . Haworth projections represent the cyclic sugars as having essentially planar rings, with the OH at the anomeric C1: (OH below the ring) (OH above the ring).
Glycosidic Bonds
ENLACES METAESTABLES: DEGRADACIN in vivo SLO MEDIADA POR ENZIMAS
The anomeric hydroxyl and a hydroxyl of another sugar or some other compound can join together, splitting out water to form a glycosidic bond: R-OH + HO-R' R-O-R' + H2O E.g., methanol reacts with the anomeric OH on glucose to form methyl glucoside (methyl-glucopyranose).

Disaccharides:
Maltose, a cleavage product of starch (e.g., amylose), is a disaccharide with an (1 4) glycosidic link between C1 - C4 OH of 2 glucoses. It is the anomer (C1 O points down).

Cellobiose, a product of cellulose breakdown, is the otherwise equivalent anomer (O on C1 points up). The (1 4) glycosidic linkage is represented as a zig-zag, but one glucose is actually flipped over relative to the other.

amylose
Plants store glucose as amylose or amylopectin, glucose polymers collectively called starch. Glucose storage in polymeric form minimizes osmotic effects. Amylose is a glucose polymer with (14) linkages. It adopts a helical conformation. The end of the polysaccharide with an anomeric C1 not involved in a glycosidic bond is called the reducing end.

Glycogen, the glucose storage polymer in animals, is similar in structure to amylopectin. But glycogen has more (16) branches. The highly branched structure permits rapid release of glucose from glycogen stores, e.g., in muscle during exercise. The ability to rapidly mobilize glucose is more essential to animals than to plants.

cellulose
Cellulose, a major constituent of plant cell walls, consists of long linear chains of glucose with (14) linkages. Every other glucose is flipped over, due to the linkages. This promotes intra-chain and inter-chain H-bonds and van der Waals interactions, that cause cellulose chains to be straight & rigid, and pack with a crystalline arrangement in thick bundles called microfibrils. Schematic of arrangement of
cellulose chains in a microfibril.
These microfibrils are very strong. The role of cellulose is to impart strength and rigidity to plant cell walls, which can withstand high hydrostatic pressure gradients. Osmotic swelling is prevented.
ANTGENOS DEL GRUPO ABO. Los grupos sanguneos estn determinados por un conjunto de oligosacridos antignicos unidos a la superficie de los eritrocitos. El Tipo O no es antignico pero la persona genera anticuerpos contra los antgenos A y B. Los Tipos A y B se forman por adicin de GalNac y Gal, respectivamente; ambos pueden generar anticuerpos especficos contra el Tipo opuesto (A o B). Los portadores del Tipo AB no generan anticuerpos contra ninguno de estos polisacridos.
