Chapter 12 Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates • Carbohydrate: a polyhydroxyaldehyde or polyhydroxyketone, or a substance that gives these compounds on hydrolysis. • Monosaccharide:a carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed to a simpler carbohydrate. • Monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn, where n varies from 3 to 8. • Aldose: a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group. • Ketose: a monosaccharide containing a ketone group.
Monosaccharides • Monosaccharides are classified by their number of carbon atoms.
Example: aldo (from aldehyde) pent (from 5 carbons) ose (family name) ALDOPENTOSE
Example • keto (from ketone) • hex (from 6 carbons) • ose (family name) KETOHEXOSE
Chiral- compounds or objects that can not be superimposed on their mirror image. Object is different from its mirror image • Achiral (nonchiral)- compounds or objects that can be superimposed on their mirror image. Object is the same as its mirror image
A chiral carbon is one that has four different groups attached to it. • A carbon with four different groups bonded to it is called a stereocenter.
Enantiomers- Isomers where the • molecule and its mirror image are different. • They always occur in pairs
Two Stereocenters • For a molecule with nstereocenters, the maximum number of possible stereoisomers is 2n. • We have already verified that, for a molecule with one stereocenter, 21 = 2 stereoisomers (one pair of enantiomers) are possible. • For a molecule with two stereocenters, a maximum of 22 = 4 stereoisomers (two pair of enantiomers) are possible. • For a molecule with three stereocenters, a maximum of 23 = 8 stereoisomers (four pairs of enantiomers) are possible.
Stereoisomers • example: Mark all stereocenters in each molecule and tell how many stereoisomers are possible for each.
Chirality in Biomolecules • how an enzyme distinguishes between a molecule and its enantiomer.
The S enantiomer of naproxen is the active pain reliever, but its Renantiomer is a liver toxin!

Monosaccharides • Fischer projection:a two dimensional representation for showing the configuration of tetrahedral stereocenters. • Horizontal lines represent bonds projecting forward from the stereocenter. • Vertical lines represent bonds projecting to the rear. • Only the stereocenter is in the plane.
Haworth Projections Monosaccharides with 5 or more carbons exist as rings → → Haworth projection ALDOSE
→ → Haworth projection Fischer projection KETOSE
Important Monosaccharides • Glucose • Aldohexose • Most nutritionally important monosaccharide • Sometimes called dextrose or blood sugar
Galactose • A component of lactose (milk sugar) • Aldohexose
Fructose • Ketohexose • Sometimes called fruit sugar • Component of sucrose
Disaccharides • Two monosaccharide units linked together Glycosidic Linkage (1→4) Glucose Glucose Maltose
Important Disaccharides • Maltose • Glucose + Glucose • Malt sugar • Found in fermenting grains
Lactose • Glucose + Galactose • Milk sugar
Lactose Intolerance • Enzyme Lactase low or absent • Lactose fermented in the intestine • Nausea, cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea
Sucrose • Fructose + Glucose (1→2) • Found in many plants (especially sugar cane, sugar beets) • Table sugar glucose fructose
Polysaccharides • More than 10 monosaccharides linked together Glycosidic linkage
Starch • Polymer of 30 to 1000 glucose units • Storage form of glucose in plants • Cereal grains (wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley) as well as tubers such as potatoes are rich in starch
Glycogen • Polymer of glucose units • Storage form of glucose in animals • Can have up to 600,000 glucose units • Mainly in liver and muscles • (1→4 and 1→6 links)
Cellulose • Polymer of glucose units • Found in plant cell walls • Linear polymer but has (14)glycosidic linkages. • Not easily digested, a constituent of dietary fiber.
