Monosaccharides exist as anomers because they contain a hemiacetal group that undergoes mutarotation. Draw the structure of any common monosaccharide that contains a hemiacetal group. Provide the correct name for the drawn monosaccharide, including appropriate anomeric and enantiomeric designations. Draw a circle around the hemiacetal group and draw a square around the anomeric carbon atom in monosaccharide you have drawn in the first step.
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
Monosaccharides exist as anomers because they contain a hemiacetal group that undergoes mutarotation.
Draw the structure of any common monosaccharide that contains a hemiacetal group. Provide the correct name for the drawn monosaccharide, including appropriate anomeric and enantiomeric designations.
Draw a circle around the hemiacetal group and draw a square around the anomeric carbon atom in monosaccharide you have drawn in the first step.
Using the monosaccharide you have drown in the first step, provide a series of diagrams to demonstrate how mutarotation occurs. Accurately name for the resulting monosaccharide, including appropriate anomeric and enantiomeric designations.
