I was at the supermarket the other day shopping for groceries, and I picked up a box of Schtuck Margarine. On the front of the box, it listed “5% trans fats” and on the ingredient list it had “hydrogenated corn oil” listed as the main ingredient. If corn oil is a polyunsaturated vegetable oil with cis- double bonds (only), why is it hydrogenated, and where are the trans fats coming from? Additionally, what is the issue with trans- fats?
Fructose, a component of sucrose, and ribose, a component of nucleic acid, have very similar structures. How do they differ?
The structure below shows that of a trisaccharide that is composed of (going from top left to bottom right) galactose, glucose, and fructose. More specifically, the component monosaccharides are [D-galactose, L-galactose], [D-glucose, L-glucose], and [D-fructose, L-fructose] .
How do each pair of the following molecules resemble/differ from each other. (a) glycogen and cellulose; (b) maltose and sucrose (c) D-glucose and D-fructose??
Your friend has discovered a protein that they suspect is glycosylated. They decide to perform a series of tests to determine the nature of the oligosaccharide. Assuming/Knowing the following: Fucose molecular weight is approximately 164 Galactose molecular weight is approximately 180 GalNAc molecular weight is approximately 221 Mannose molecular weight is approximately 180 Sialic Acid molecular weight is approximately 309 Neuraminidase cleaves before a Sialic Acid (Sialic Acid and anything after leaves the protein) Beta-galactosidase cleaves after a Galactose (Galactose and anything before remains on the protein) Peanut Agglutinin binds to GalNAc Concanavalin A binds to Mannose Hemagglutinin binds to Sialic Acid Based on preliminary results, they suspect that the oligosaccharide is 7 glycosides long and weighs a total of 1414 g/mol They carried out the following experiments: they treated the protein with either a glycosidase or a lectin, and then pelleted the protein using…
