Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Fischer projection for D-galactose has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Fischer projection formula simply uses cross for representing tetrahedral carbon atom. The carbon atom that is present in the intersection point in cross. The horizontal bonds means they are coming forward and they are present on wedge bond. The vertical bonds means they are pointing away and they are present on dashed lines.
(b)
Interpretation:
Fischer projection for the enantiomer of D-galactose has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Enantiomers are two stereoisomers of a compound that rotate the plane polarized light exactly opposite. The configuration present in the enantiomers will be exactly opposite to each other.
Fischer projection formula simply uses cross for representing tetrahedral carbon atom. The carbon atom that is present in the intersection point in cross. The horizontal bonds means they are coming forward and they are present on wedge bond. The vertical bonds means they are pointing away and they are present on dashed lines.

- Draw the structure of b-D-galactose molecule using (a) Fischer projectionarrow_forward(a) Draw the more stable chair form of fucose, an essential monosaccharide needed in the diet and a component of carbohydrates on mammalian and plant cell surfaces. (b) Classify fucose as a D- or Lmonosaccharide. (c) What two structural features are unusual in fucose?arrow_forward(a) Draw the condensed structural formula, and give the name for the dipeptide Pro-Asn. (b) Draw the disaccharide formed by the following two monosaccharide via 1,4-linkage. In your disaccharide structure, circle and label the anomeric carbon and indicate whether you have an alpha (a) or a beta (B) anomer. CH2OH CH₂OH ОН ОН ОН ОН, ОН ОН ОН ОНarrow_forward
- Draw the structure of: (a) a polysaccharide formed by joining D-mannose units in 1→4-β- glycosidic linkages; (b) a polysaccharide formed by joining D-glucose units in 1→6-α- glycosidic linkages. The polysaccharide in (b) is dextran, a component of dental plaque.arrow_forwardMonosaccharides can be categorized in terms of thenumber of carbon atoms (pentoses have five carbons andhexoses have six carbons) and according to whether theycontain an aldehyde (aldo- prefix, as in aldopentose) orketone group (keto- prefix, as in ketopentose). Classify glucoseand fructose in this way.arrow_forwardA) Define "reducing sugar." (b) Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose (Glc(1 → 2)Fru). Explain why sucrose is not a reducing sugar, even though both glucose and fructose are.arrow_forward
- This substance, produced by certain soil bacteria as a defensive weapon, is used as an antibiotic. It is derived from monosaccharides. CH3 H NH₂ H₂N CH3 OH HO NH₂ CH3 NH -CH3 OH (a) How many "monosaccharide" residues are present? (b) List one way that these residues differ chemically from the monosaccharides you have I seen so far. (c) Draw an arrow pointing to one glycosidic bond. (d) Can you tell whether the bonds linking the residues have the alpha or beta configuration?arrow_forwardConsider N-acetyl-d-glucosamine Q.) Draw a chair conformation for the disaccharide formed by joining two units of the pyranose form of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine by a b-1,4-glycosidic bond. If you draw this correctly, you have the structural formula for the repeating dimer of chitin, the structural polysaccharide component of the shell of lobsters and other crustaceans.arrow_forwardIn glycoside formation, the hemiacetal functional group of a cyclic monosaccharide is converted to an acetal group by reaction with a(an)arrow_forward
