Structural Features
1 Structural features As defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry gly- cans are structures of multiple monosaccharides linked through glycosidic bonds. The terms sugar and saccharide are synonyms, depending on your preference for Arabic (“sukkar”) or Greek (“sakkēaron”). Saccharide is the root for monosaccha- rides (a single carbohydrate unit), oligosaccharides (3 to 20 units) and polysac- charides (large polymers of more than 20 units). Carbohydrates follow the basic formula (CH2O)N>2. Glycolaldehyde (CH2O)2 would be the simplest member of the family if molecules of two C-atoms were not excluded from the biochemical repertoire. Glycolaldehyde has been found in space in cosmic dust surrounding star-forming regions of the Milky Way galaxy. Glycolaldehyde is a precursor of several organic molecules. For example, reaction of glycolaldehyde with propenal, another interstellar molecule, yields ribose, a carbohydrate that is also the backbone of nucleic acids. Figure 1 – The Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region is shown in infrared light as captured by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Explorer. Glycolaldehyde was identified in the gas surrounding the star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422, which is is the red object in the centre of the marked square. This star-forming region is 26’000 light-years away from Earth. Glycolaldehyde can react with propenal to form ribose. Image source: www.eso.org/public/images/eso1234a/ Beginning the count at three carbon atoms, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxy- acetone share the common chemical formula (CH2O)3 and represent the smallest carbohydrates. As their names imply, glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde group (at C1) and dihydoxyacetone a carbonyl group (at C2). -

Structures and Characteristics of Carbohydrates in Diets Fed to Pigs: a Review Diego M
Navarro et al. Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology (2019) 10:39 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40104-019-0345-6 REVIEW Open Access Structures and characteristics of carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs: a review Diego M. D. L. Navarro1, Jerubella J. Abelilla1 and Hans H. Stein1,2* Abstract The current paper reviews the content and variation of fiber fractions in feed ingredients commonly used in swine diets. Carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy in diets fed to pigs. Carbohydrates may be classified according to their degree of polymerization: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Digestible carbohydrates include sugars, digestible starch, and glycogen that may be digested by enzymes secreted in the gastrointestinal tract of the pig. Non-digestible carbohydrates, also known as fiber, may be fermented by microbial populations along the gastrointestinal tract to synthesize short-chain fatty acids that may be absorbed and metabolized by the pig. These non-digestible carbohydrates include two disaccharides, oligosaccharides, resistant starch, and non-starch polysaccharides. The concentration and structure of non-digestible carbohydrates in diets fed to pigs depend on the type of feed ingredients that are included in the mixed diet. Cellulose, arabinoxylans, and mixed linked β-(1,3) (1,4)-D-glucans are the main cell wall polysaccharides in cereal grains, but vary in proportion and structure depending on the grain and tissue within the grain. Cell walls of oilseeds, oilseed meals, and pulse crops contain cellulose, pectic polysaccharides, lignin, and xyloglucans. Pulse crops and legumes also contain significant quantities of galacto-oligosaccharides including raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose. -
Did an Earlier Genetic Molecule Predate DNA and RNA? 9 January 2012, by Richard Harth
Simpler times: Did an earlier genetic molecule predate DNA and RNA? 9 January 2012, by Richard Harth have acted as genetic precursors to RNA and DNA is to examine other nucleic acids that differ slightly in their chemical composition, yet still possess critical properties of self-assembly and replication as well as the ability to fold into shapes useful for biological function. According to Chaput, one interesting contender for the role of early genetic carrier is a molecule known as TNA, whose arrival on the primordial scene may have predated its more familiar kin. A nucleic acid similar in form to both DNA and RNA, TNA differs in the sugar component of its structure, using threose rather than deoxyribose (as in DNA) or ribose (as in The nucleic acid TNA may have acted as a precursor RNA) to compose its backbone. molecule to DNA and RNA, bearing genetic information and performing important biological functions. Photo: Public domain In an article released online today in the journal Nature Chemistry, Chaput and his group describe the Darwinian evolution of functional TNA molecules from a large pool of random sequences. (PhysOrg.com) -- In the chemistry of the living This is the first case where such methods have world, a pair of nucleic acids-DNA and RNA-reign been applied to molecules other than DNA and supreme. As carrier molecules of the genetic code, RNA, or very close structural analogues thereof. they provide all organisms with a mechanism for Chaput says "the most important finding to come faithfully reproducing themselves as well as from this work is that TNA can fold into complex generating the myriad proteins vital to living shapes that can bind to a desired target with high systems. -
T. TRIOSE PHOSPHATE ISOMERASE Background
T. TRIOSE PHOSPHATE ISOMERASE Background O H OH 2- 2- O3PO OH O3PO O Dihydroxyacetone phosphate D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (DHAP) (GAP) Figure T.1. The reaction catalyzed by triose phosphate isomerase. Note that the reaction can proceed in either direction. Triose phosphate isomerase (TIM) is one of the best studied enzymes out there. A glycolytic enzyme, TIM is present in virtually all organisms. It catalyzes the interconversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) with D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP; Figure T.1). The individual principally associated with TIM is Jeremy Knowles, who has written two excellent reviews that cover most of the material in these notes.1 The structure of TIM was solved by Greg Petsko in the mid-1970’s, at a time when relatively few enzyme structures were known. From my perspective, the value of TIM as a point of discussion lies in the following topics: • General acid/base catalysis • Moderation of pKa’s in the enzyme active site • Sequestration of reactive intermediates • Optimization of catalytic efficiency • Cryptic stereochemistry Each topic will be covered below. Glycolysis Glucose is metabolized anaerobically through the glycolytic pathway which uses 11 enzymes to convert glucose to two molecules of lactic acid along with the production of two molecules of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (Eq. T.1) C6H12O6 + 2 ADP + 2 Pi → 2 C3H6O3 + 2 ATP (Eq. T.1) To obtain a better understanding of glycolysis, any textbook or Wikipedia entry will do. However, to place TIM’s role in context, it appears at an important juncture in glycolysis, where the last hexose in the cycle, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, is degraded to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP; Figure T.2). -

These are synthesized in nature by green plants, algae and some bacteria by photosynthesis. They also form major part of our diet and provide us energy required for the life sustaining activities such as growth, metabolism and reproduction. At microscopic level, these constitute the structural components of the cell such as cell membrane and cell wall. In this unit, we shall begin with general overview of the chemical nature of carbohydrates and their classification. The unit focuses mainly on the simplest carbohydrates known as monosaccharides. We shall learn about the chemical structures of different monosaccharides and how to draw them. We shall also discuss their stereochemistry in detail which would help to understand how change in orientation of same substituents results in different molecules with same chemical formula but different properties. We shall also discuss about some of the chemical reactions of monosaccharides resulting in 77 formation of important derivatives and their biological importance. -
