BMP: Matching
component in synovial fluid and vitreous humour of eye, skin moisture and ageing, occurs in capsules surrounding bacteria |
describe linkages in hyaluronate |
250-25000 beta1-4 linked disaccharide units consiisting of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine linked by a beta 1-3 bond |
how is a disaccharide formed? |
linking of 2 sugars by an O-glycosidic bond |
isomer of alpha-amylose
beta glycosidic links
inverted flip 180 interval to facilitate formation of glycosidic link |
how does penicillin kill susceptible bacteria |
specifically inhibiting transpeptidase |
how is sucrose a non-reducing sugar? |
1-2 glycosidic bond takes up both anomeric carbons so disaccharide cannot open so cannot react with reducing agents |
hyaluronic acid is also known as? |
1-2 glycosidic bond
glucose (C1) and fructose (C2) |
by inhibiting transpeptidase, what is the result? |
weak cell wall and osmotic lysis of bacterium |
