1 1 anomeric carbon

3 3

4 4 Flat ring (Haworth projection) just gives the relative positions of the H and OH at each carbon, one is “above” the other. But it does not tell the positions of the groups relative to the plane of the ring (up, down or out) Relationship between Haworth (flat ring) depiction and chair-form

5 5 Polymers are built by removing a molecule of water between them, known as dehydration, or condensation. R-OH + HO-R → R-O-R + HOH This process does not happen by itself (It is NOT like glucose ring formation) Rather, like virtually all of the reactions in a cell, it requires the aid of a CATALYST Dimer formation

6 6 AND: Polymers are broken down by the reverse process, ADDING a molecule of water between them, known as DIMER HYDROLYSIS R-O-R + HOH→ R-OH + HO-R This process does not happen by itself Rather, like virtually all of the reaction in a cell, it requires the aid of a CATALYST

9 9 Glycosidic bond Anomeric carbon is always one partner Beta conformation is now locked in here But not here C4 = equatorial out (always in glucose) C1 = equatorial out (in beta glucose) The two glucose molecules are connected in a ~straight line in cellobose O H H H CHOH 2 HO H H 4 O H H H CHOH 2 HO OH HO H H 4 Beta-glucose residue “Beta”-glucose residue Cellobiose with right-hand glucose shown as beta

10 10 Glycosidic bond Anomeric carbon is always one partner Alpha conformation of –OH is now locked in here But not here C4 = equatorial out (always in glucose) C1 = axial down (in alpha glucose) O H H H CHOH 2 HO H H 4 O H H H CHOH 2 HO OH HO H H 4 Alpha-glucose residue “Beta”-glucose residue Maltose with right-hand glucose shown as beta The two glucose molecules are connected with an angle between them in maltose

11 11 One is forced to draw strange “elbows” when depicting disaccharides using the Haworth projections. Such elbows do not exist in reality. (here the C1 OH is “above” and the C4 OH is “below” Whereas we just saw in actuality that they are both equatorial in beta glucose) Equatorial bond is above the H Equatorial bond is below the H

31 31 Amino acids (the monomer of proteins) PROTEINS

43 43 Parts of a polypeptide chain

44 44 Handout 3-3 (Without showing the R-groups) The backbone is monotonous It is the side chains that provide the variety The backbone is monotonous

45 45 “Polypeptides” vs. “proteins” Polypeptide = amino acids connected in a linear chain (polymer) Protein = a polypeptide or several associated polypeptides (discussed later) Often used synonymously Peptide (as opposed to polypeptide) is smaller, even 2 AAs (dipeptide)
