Willmore 2003 Carbohydrates a) Solar energy photosynthesis Carbohydrates Other organic compounds b) Definition : Carbohydrates contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which can directly, or indirectly after hydrolysis, reduce alkali solutions of heavy metal salts. They are generally known as POLYHYDROXYALDEHYDES or KETONES and can yield aldehydes or ketones upon hydrolysis. Carbohydrate = “hydrated carbons”. The general formula is : Cm(H2O)n c) Types : 1) MONOSACCHARIDES 2C 9C : the simplest of carbohydrates in that they cannot yield smaller molecules upon hydrolysis 2) OLIGOSACCHARIDES 2 10 monosaccharides units : joined by GLYCOSIDIC LINK : oligosaccharides, upon hydrolysis, will yield constituent monosaccharides 3) POLYSACCHARIDES > 10 monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic links : oligosaccharides, upon hydrolysis, will yield constituent monosaccharides 4) HOMOPOLYSACCHARIDES contain the same monosaccharide units 5) HETEROPOLYSACCHARIDES contain different monosaccharide units Carbohydrates d) BIOCHEMICAL IMPORTANCE 1) Energy provision and storage 2) Structure and protection 3) Conversion to other compounds eg.

Plant starch is composed of 1 part AMYLOSE and 3 parts AMYLOPECTINE. c) Plant starch composes 60% of our daily caloric intake. AMYLOSE : composed of D- glucose units joined in 1-4 a glycosidic links : polymers of maltose : molecular weight is 60,000 to 1,500,000 daltons AMYLOPECTINE 25 units : structure is not linear : branched (tree-like) with chains of D-glucose units joined in a 1-4 a-glycosidic link : branch points of 1-6 a-glycosidic link (anomeric C atom (aldose and ketose C)) - always involves C1 : branching provided by OH on C6 : 25 units per chain : compacts the space taken by many glucose units into a smaller volume POLYSACCHARIDES Willmore 2003 4) GLYCOGEN : animal product and is present in muscle and liver : muscle is a primative sort of tissue with primative energy derivation : it has very large molecular weight (millions) : it's structure is similar to amylopectine except that it is more highly branched : the molecules in glycogen are more compact and it has 1 to 6 a-glycosidic links : every 8 to 10 units is a D-glycose unit 5) DEXTRANS : form of energy storage in bacteria : it is composed of D-glucose joined via various glycosidic links STRUCTURAL POLYSACCHARIDES CELLULOSE : the most abundant natural product and 50 % of all natural organic material in biosphere contain cellulose : has linear chains of D-GLUCOSE units joined via 1-4 b-glycosidic links : the polymer of CELLOBIOSE : has the same chemical component of amylose and is involved in structure and rigidity of plant cells (H-bonding between chains) : not utilized by mammals except the ruminants (ruminants possess symbiotic microorganisms in lumen) : cellulose provides an easy and cheap way to feed cattle MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES a) Generally occur in association with proteins GLYCOPROTEINS < 4% hexosamine (amino sugars) MUCOPROTEINS > 4% hexosamine b) Chitin (no protein) : N-ACETYL-D-GLUCOSAMINE : units joined via1-4 b-glycosidic link : compare to structure of cellulose : exoskeletons of insects and crustaceans : important in pesticide development c) Mucopolysaccharides have a wide range of activities : Hyaluronic acid, D-Glucuronic acid, N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine : joined by 1,3 b- and 1,4 b-glycosidic links : found in cell coat : joint lubricants : blood group factors and blood typing : reflects in surface of red blood cell : an anticoagulant (heparine) is a mucopolysaccharide Willmore 2003 POLYSACCHARIDE DEGRADATION General a) polysaccharides undergoes degradation to permit use of constituent monosaccharides (plant starch, glycogen) b) Pathway of degradation varies with cellular location. Release of monosaccharides 1) Extracellular (outside of the cell) hydrolysis eg. D-GLUCOSE : gastrointestinal tract - still considered outside of the body - cells secrete enzymes to outer body that conduct hydrolysis : salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase - catalyze the hydrolysis of 1-4 a-glycosidic links - amylo-1,6-a-glucosidase - hydrolysis of any branch points (1-6 a) - introduction of water - important to digestion (broken down before being absorbed) Willmore 2003 Release of monosaccharides 2) Intracellular phosphorolysis - bond cleavage with phosphoric acid (uses elements of phosphate) O -O CH2OH O OH P O - CH2OH CH2OH O O O OH OH OH = OH O OH slight OH OPO3 OH OH D- Glucose-1-phosphate - working from non-reducing end of molecule - nucleophilic attack of phosphate on C1 - chopping off at non reducing end (branching points are obstacles) - phosphorilytic degradation of glycogen results in release of D-glucose-1-phosphate - controlled by consumption of the product - enzyme phosphorylase regulated and this system is crutial in deriving energies from energy bank - 2 forms of phosphorylases: a and b balance Phosphorylase a (active) Phosphorylase b (inactive) 2 Pi - bond breaking, covalent modification Willmore 2003 Willmore 2003 Phosphorylase phosphatase: : conversion between active and inactive forms : inactive form is in muscle : if using phosphate group from ATP ADP and AMP accumulate (trouble) : AMP positively modifies system (changes shape of the phosphatase to make it active) : take AMP and use it as an allosteric modifier to convert to an active form : ATP (negative) and AMP (positive) compete for allosteric sites always operational 2 Pi (+) AMP (-) ATP Phosphorylase a active Phosphorylase b inactive Phosphorylase phosphatase allosteric modification covalent modification Phosphorylase phosphotase kinase cleaves off Pi 2 ATP 2 ADP What turns phosphorylase kinase on? : hormones: ADRENALIN in muscle, GLUCAGON in liver : stimulate the release : ATP upon hormone stimulation releases 2 pyrophosphate : cAMP stimulates the enzyme system and turns the protein kinase inactive to a protein kinase active.
