Answer to Problem 20.27P

  EBK GENERAL, ORGANIC, & BIOLOGICAL CHEM, Chapter 20, Problem 20.27P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

Sugar molecules can be named as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. The absolute configuration of a molecule can be explained using D and L configuration. In D- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the right while in L- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the left. Aldopentose is a five-carbon aldehyde sugar. Xylose, Arabinose and Ribose are few examples.

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of a D- tetrose needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Sugar molecules can name as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. Aldotetrose is a four-carbon aldehyde sugar.

Answer to Problem 20.27P

  EBK GENERAL, ORGANIC, & BIOLOGICAL CHEM, Chapter 20, Problem 20.27P , additional homework tip  3

Explanation of Solution

Sugar molecules can be named as D or L sugars according to their most oxidized carbon at the top of the Fisher projection. The absolute configuration of a molecule can be explained using D and L configuration. In D- sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the right while if L-sugars, the OH group on the bottom chiral center points to the left. Aldotetrose is a four-carbon aldehyde sugar.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of a five-carbon alditol needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Alditols are polyols. Alditols can be produced by reducing an aldehyde or a ketone group in a monosaccharide.

Answer to Problem 20.27P

  EBK GENERAL, ORGANIC, & BIOLOGICAL CHEM, Chapter 20, Problem 20.27P , additional homework tip  5

Explanation of Solution

Alditols are polyols. Alditols can be produced by reducing an aldehyde or a ketone group in a monosaccharide. In this reduction process, an aldehyde group or a ketone group converts into −CH2OH group. Xylitol is an example of an alditol.

The molar absorptivity of a protein in water at 280 nm can be estimated within ~5-10% from its content of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan and from the number of disulfide linkages (R-S-S-R) between cysteine residues:   Ε280 nm (M-1 cm-1) ≈ 5500 nTrp + 1490 nTyr + 125 nS-S   where nTrp is the number of tryptophans, nTyr is the number of tyrosines, and nS-S is the number of disulfide linkages. The protein human serum transferrin has 678 amino acids including 8 tryptophans, 26 tyrosines, and 19 disulfide linkages. The molecular mass of the most dominant for is 79550.   Predict the molar absorptivity of transferrin.
