Enzymes Flashcards
Catalyst for biochemical reactions, most efficient
Enzymes
Equimolar mixture of glucose and fructose are generated
Invert Sugar
Alpha-D-glucose molecule + beta D-Fructose
Sucrose
how is dissacharide linked?
alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond
Sucrose is also known as
Table sugar
Beta-Fructofuranosidase
Invertase
biosynthesized yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Saccharomyces carlsbergensis
Invertase
reducing agents because of free aldhehyde group or ketone group
Reducing sugars
Enumerate reducing sugars
Glucose
Fructose
Lactose
Maltose
Galactose
Enumerate non reducingsugars
Sucrose
DNS
3,5-Dinitrosalicylic Acid or 2-hydroxy-3,5-Dinitrobenzoic acid
aromatic compound that forms 3-amino 5-nitrosalicylic acid
DNS
Strongly absorbs light at 540 nm
DNS
Detects the presence of free carbon group (C=O) of redicng sugars
DNS Colorimetric Method
Oxidation of aldhehyde in glucose and ketone in fructose
