- Following are Fischer projections for a group of five-carbon sugars, all of which are aldopentoses. Identify the pairs that are enantiomers and the pairs that are epimers. (The sugars shown here are not all of the possible five-carbon )arrow_forwarddraw disaccharide as Haworth projection: (shown in image) -is this drawing a reducing sugar? Briefly explainarrow_forwardWhat is the complete name of the following sugar? но он носн он Write out the words alpha and beta. This question is case-sensitive. Capitalize only the configuration designation, D or L, example: beta-D-glucopyranose.arrow_forward
- Draw the structure of malibiose a sugar found in plants and answer the following question: a) What two monosaccharides are formed on hydrolysis of melibiose? b) Is melibiose a reducing sugar? Explain. c) Describe the glycosidic linkage between the two mono- saccharide units.arrow_forwardThe amount of branching (number of (α1→6) glycosidic bonds) in amylopectin can be determined by the following procedure. A sample of amylopectin is exhaustively methylated—treated with a methylating agent (methyl iodide) that replaces the hydrogen of every sugar hydroxyl witha methyl group, converting —OH to —OCH3 . All the glycosidic bonds in the treated sample are then hydrolyzed in aqueous acid, and the amount of 2,3-di-O-methylglucose so formed is determined.(a) Explain the basis of this procedure for determining the number of (α1→6) branch points in amylopectin. What happens to the unbranched glucose residues in amylopectin during the methylation and hydrolysis procedure?(b) A 258 mg sample of amylopectin treated as described above yielded 12.4 mg of 2,3-di-O-methylglucose. Determine what percentage of the glucose residues in the amylopectin contained an (α1→6) branch. (Assume that the average molecular weight of a glucose residue in amylopectin is 162 g/mol.)arrow_forwardImagine a trisaccharide that has D-Altrose, D-Gulose, and D-Ribose. D-Altrose is bonded to D-Gulose in an α(1→4) glycosidic bond and D-Ribose is bonded to D-Altrose in an α(1→6) glycosidic bond. Draw the imaginary trisaccharide using Haworth projection with the appropriate representation of each monosaccharide.arrow_forward
- Draw a Fischer projection of L-fucose and L-hexose. What are the similarities in their structure?arrow_forwardNaturally occurring D-glucose is one of a pair of enantiomers. Its mirror image is L-glucose. Draw the two cyclic six-membered isomers of L-glucose that differ in the configuration around C1 and indicate which is a and which is B.arrow_forwardFollowing are Fischer projections for a group of five-carbon sugars, all of which are aldopentoses.
