Biochemical Molecules and Processes - Carbohydrates II - 11/11/24

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
how is a disaccharide formed?   linking of 2 sugars by an O-glycosidic bond  
🗑
bond in sucrose?   1-2 glycosidic bond glucose (C1) and fructose (C2)  
🗑
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  
🗑
lactose?   1,4-glycosidic link  
🗑
glycogen?   alpha-1-4, glycosidic bonds branches roughly every 10 units in an alpha-1,6 glycosidic bond  
🗑
cellulose?   isomer of alpha-amylose beta glycosidic links inverted flip 180 interval to facilitate formation of glycosidic link  
🗑
hyaluronic acid?   component in synovial fluid and vitreous humour of eye, skin moisture and ageing, occurs in capsules surrounding bacteria  
🗑
hyaluronic acid is also known as?   hyaluronate  
🗑
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 does penicillin kill susceptible bacteria   specifically inhibiting transpeptidase  
🗑
transpeptidase?   catalyses final step in cell wall biosynthesis, cross linking of peptidoglycan  
🗑
by inhibiting transpeptidase, what is the result?   weak cell wall and osmotic lysis of bacterium  
🗑
