Lecture 14 Flashcards
isomersases
catalyze the structural rearrangement of isomers
isomerases examples
cis and trans
racemases
epimerases
sweetest sugar
fructose (fruit syrup)
dextrose
glucose
mild sweet sugar
glucose
building block of most disaccharides and most carbohydrates
glucose
foods w fructose
fruits
veggies
honey
hfcs
foods w glucose
fruits
veggies
maltose type of bond
alpha 1-4
lactose type of bond
beta 1-4
sucrose what type of bond
alpha 1-4
maltose components
glucose + glucose
lactose components
galactose + glucose
sucrose components
fructose + glucose
how long are oligosaccharides
3-10 monosaccharides
raffinose
galactose-glucose-fructose
stachyose
galactose-galactose-glucose-fructose
polysaccharides how many units
greater than 10
polysaccharides examples
starches, glycogen, cellulose, chitin
amylose linkage
alpha 1->4
amylopectin linkage
glucose units are linked in a linear way with alpha 1->4, branching takes place with alpha 1->6 bonds every 24 to 30 glucose units
what kind of conformation does amylose confer in water
helical
linkage in cellulose
beta 1->4
what is cellulose considered along w other non-digestible polysaccharides
fiber
