The following points highlight the two main divisions of mucosubstances. The divisions are: 1. Glycoprotein 2. Mucopolysaccharides. Mucosubstances: Division # 1. Glycoprotein: (i) They are protein-polysaccharide compounds occurring in the tissues, particularly in mucus secretions. (ii) They do not contain uronic acids although they contain acetyl hexosamines such as N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine. Hexoses such […]
The following points highlight the top five classifications of isomerism. The classifications are: 1. D and L 2. α- and β-anomers 3. Epimers 4. Pyranose and Furanose Ring Structures 5. Aldose-ketose Isomerism. Isomerism: Classification # 1. D and L: The designation of an isomer as D- or L- form is determined by its spatial configuration […]
The following points highlight the top three classifications of carbohydrates. The classifications are: 1. Monosaccharides 2. Disaccharides 3. Polysaccharides. Carbohydrates: Classification # 1. Monosaccharides: Trioses and Tetroses: Phosphates of the two trioses, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone, are formed from fructose-1, 6- diphosphate by glycolysis. 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde and erythrose-4- phosphate are formed by the hexose monophosphate shunt. Pentoses: […]
