Sugars are flexible polymorphic species, exhibiting complex con- stitutional, configurational and conformational isomerism. The intramolecular reaction between carbonyl (typically reducing (RNA), as substrates (ATP or sugar-diphospho-nucleosides), or as terminus) and hydroxyl groups gives rise to cyclic hemiacetal/ cofactors (NAD(P) or NAD(P)H).7 Remarkably, their roles are often ketals, particularly stable for five- or six-membered ring forms critical: DNA analogues in which thefuranoseringsareexchanged (furanose or pyranose, respectively, Scheme 1).

  • Nucleotide Sugars in Chemistry and Biology
    molecules Review Nucleotide Sugars in Chemistry and Biology Satu Mikkola Department of Chemistry, University of Turku, 20014 Turku, Finland; satu.mikkola@utu.fi Academic Editor: David R. W. Hodgson Received: 15 November 2020; Accepted: 4 December 2020; Published: 6 December 2020 Abstract: Nucleotide sugars have essential roles in every living creature. They are the building blocks of the biosynthesis of carbohydrates and their conjugates. They are involved in processes that are targets for drug development, and their analogs are potential inhibitors of these processes. Drug development requires efficient methods for the synthesis of oligosaccharides and nucleotide sugar building blocks as well as of modified structures as potential inhibitors. It requires also understanding the details of biological and chemical processes as well as the reactivity and reactions under different conditions. This article addresses all these issues by giving a broad overview on nucleotide sugars in biological and chemical reactions. As the background for the topic, glycosylation reactions in mammalian and bacterial cells are briefly discussed. In the following sections, structures and biosynthetic routes for nucleotide sugars, as well as the mechanisms of action of nucleotide sugar-utilizing enzymes, are discussed. Chemical topics include the reactivity and chemical synthesis methods. Finally, the enzymatic in vitro synthesis of nucleotide sugars and the utilization of enzyme cascades in the synthesis of nucleotide sugars and oligosaccharides are briefly discussed. Keywords: nucleotide sugar; glycosylation; glycoconjugate; mechanism; reactivity; synthesis; chemoenzymatic synthesis 1. Introduction Nucleotide sugars consist of a monosaccharide and a nucleoside mono- or diphosphate moiety. The term often refers specifically to structures where the nucleotide is attached to the anomeric carbon of the sugar component.

However, as described in Section 18.9, aldehydes and ke- tones react with alcohols to form hemiacetals. When this reaction is intermolecular— that is, when the aldehyde group and the alcohol group are in different molecules—the equilibrium is unfavorable and the amount of hemiacetal that is present is very small. However, when the aldehyde group and the alcohol group are contained in the same molecule, as is the case in the second equation that follows, the intramolecular reaction is much more favorable (because of entropy effects; see Sections 8.13 and 18.9) and the hemiacetal is the predominant species present at equilibrium.

  • Chem331 Lect 12 Carbos
    Carbohydrates • Of the macromolecules that we will cover in this class, those involving carbohydrates are the most abundant in nature. • Via photosynthesis, over 100 billion metric tons of CO2 and H2O are converted into cellulose and other plant products. • The term carbohydrate is a generic one that refers primarily to carbon-containing compounds that contain hydroxyl, keto, or aldehydic functionalities. • Carbohydrates can range in sizes, from simple monosaccharides (sugars) to oligosaccharides, to polysaccharides. What Roles Do Carbohydrates Play In Vivo? Energy—Photosynthesis, (CO2+ lightàSugar + O2) Structure—cell walls and extracellular structures in plants, animals and bacteria Conjugation onto lipids, proteins—glycosylation – Molecular Recognition – Protein Folding – Solubility DNA – DNA backbone – DNA capping Carbohydrate Naming Monosaccharides—simple sugars, can’t be broken down, molecular formula (CH2O)n Oligosaccharides—a few (2-10) monosaccharides linked together (conventional names: disaccharide, etc.) Polysaccharides—polymers of simple sugars.

  • 1 Cellulose and Potential Reinforcement
    1 Cellulose and potential reinforcement There are numerous examples where animals or plants synthesize extracellular high- performance skeletal biocomposites consisting of a matrix reinforced by fibrous biopolymers. Cellulose, the most abundant polymer on Earth, is a classic example of these reinforcing elements. It is a ubiquitous structural polymer that confers its mechanical properties to higher plant cells. Natural cellulose-based materials have been used by our society as engineering materials for thousands of years and this continues today given the worldwide huge markets and industries for forest products, paper, textiles … A closer look to this material reveals a hierarchical structure design which is the source of its functionality, flexibility and high strength/weight perfor- mance. 1.1 Polysaccharides Polysaccharides form part of the group of molecules known as carbohydrates and have been proposed as the first biopolymers to have formed on Earth (Tolstoguzov, 2004). This term was applied originally to compounds with the general formula Cx(H2O)y but now it is also used to describe a variety of derivatives including nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds. Carbohydrates were once thought to represent “hydrated carbon”. However, the arrangement of atoms in carbohydrates has little to do with water molecules. They are classified on the basis of their main monosac- charide components and the sequences and linkages between them, as well as the anomeric configuration of linkages, the ring size (furanose or pyranose), the absolute configuration (D- or L-) and any other substituents present. Three common “single” sugars or monosaccharides, viz. glucose, galactose and fructose , share the same molecular formula C6H1206, and because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose (Figure 1.1).

  • Drawing Sugar Structures: Fischer Projections, Haworth Structures and Chair Conformers
    Drawing Sugar Structures: Fischer Projections, Haworth Structures and Chair Conformers The acyclic structure of a sugar is commonly drawn as a Fischer projection. These structures make it easy to show the configuration at each stereogenic center in the molecule without using wedges and dashes. Fischer projections also allow an easy classification of the sugar as either the D-enantiomer or the L-enantiomer. Both the line-angle structure and the Fischer projection of the aldohexose D-allose are shown below. Cyclic Hemiacetal Formation Aldoses contain an aldehyde group and hydroxyl groups, and they undergo intramolecular reactions to form cyclic hemiacetals. These five-membered and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals are often more stable than the open-chain form of the sugar. In D-allose, nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of the aldehyde group by the hydroxyl group on carbon five (C-5) gives a six-membered ring cyclic hemiacetal. The new bond that forms between the oxygen atom on C-5 and the hemiacetal carbon atom C-1 is usually shown by using a box in the Fischer projection. This cyclic structure is called the pyranose ring form of the sugar. When the cyclic hemiacetal forms, the C-1 carbon atom becomes a new stereogenic center and can have either an R- or an S-configuration. To illustrate the ambiguity in the configuration at this new stereogenic center, squiggly lines are used in the Fischer projection to connect the hydrogen and the hydroxyl group to C-1. A Fischer projection can illustrate the structure of the cyclic hemiacetal form of a sugar, but it lacks something aesthetically as far as representing the six-membered ring in the structure.

Glucose has 4 stereocenters → 24 = 16 stereoisomers possible → 8 pairs of enantiomers (1) Fischer projection formulas (a) (+)-Glyceraldehyde: configurational reference compound for all monosaccharides This stereochemistry is defined as "D" if the OH is projected to the right. O H O H O H vertical bonds go in R H OH H C OH C and horizontal bonds H HO CH2OH come out CH2OH CH2OH D-(+)-glyceraldehyde R-(+)-glyceraldehyde sign of optical rotation at the sodium D-line (589 nm) small upper-case D configurational designation • S-(-)-Glyceraldehyde has an L-configuration.
