1 CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF CARBOHYDRATES IN THE BODY-II
2 LECTURE OUTLINE By the end of the lecture, the student should know: The formation of the ring structure. The glycosidic linkage. The functions and biological importance of polysaccharides.
3 THE FORMATION OF THE RING STRUCTURE Sugar molecules that have five or six carbons are flexible. If a six member sugar forms a ring between Carbon 1 and Carbon 5, it is called a pyranose ring If a six member sugar forms a ring between Carbon 1 and Carbon 4 it is called a furanose ring. (Also if the ring is formed between Carbon 2 and 5 in keto sugars)
4
5 The flexible carbons in monosaccharides like glucose or fructose bring Aldehyde or Ketone Group close to the OH group of the same molecule and form a ring structure. If this ring is formed by an aldehyde group, it is called Hemiacetal ring or if it is formed by a keto group, it is called Hemi Ketal Ring
6
7
8 The aldehyde group comes in close proximity to the hydroxyl group. The H of the hydroxyl group is transferred to the oxygen of the aldehyde group. The oxygen from the hydroxyl group forms a bond with the carbon of the aldehyde group.
9 GLYCOSIDES Glycosides are compounds in which: A Monosaccharide is attached to an Alcoholic group of a second compound By Glycosidic Linkage. Glycosidic Linkage is Defined as an: Acetal Linkage Between Carbonyl Carbon of a Monosaccharide and Hydoxyl Group of an Another Compound.
10 METHYL GLUCOSIDE
11 IN GLYCOSIDES OTHER COMPOUND MAY OR MAY NOT BE A MONOSACCHARIDE When the alcoholic compound in a Glycoside is a Non-Carbohydrate it is called Aglycon. In methyl Glucoside Methyl group is an Aglycon.
12 H- C------O H-C-OH OH-C-H H-C-OH H-C-OH CH2OH IN METHYL GLUCOSIDE METHYL GROUP IS AN AGLYCON CH 3 Aglycon Glycon Methyl Glucoside
13 GLYCOSIDES Carbonyl Carbon of a Monosaccharide is attached, by an Acetal linkage, to an Alcoholic group of a second compound.(acetal is an organic molecule where two separate oxygen atoms are single bonded to a central oxygen atom) H- C=O H-C-OH OH-C-H H-C-OH H-C-OH CH2OH OH CH 3 Methyl Glucoside
14 HEMIACETAL AND ACETAL
15 GLYCOSIDIC LINKAGE BEING FORMED BETWEEN TWO SUGARS
16 GLYCOSIDIC LINKAGE BEING FORMED BETWEEN TWO SUGARS
17 Types of Glycosidic Linkages In the formation of disaccharides, the type of glycosidic linkage formed is O Glycosidic Linkage. There are other glycosidic linkages as well which include S-glycosidic bonds, N- Glycosidic bonds.
18 POLYSACHHARIDES Most of the Carbohydrates found in nature occur in the form of high molecular weight complex compounds called POLYSACCHARIDES. Composed of ten or more monosaccharides or their derivatives. Monomer units are linked by the glycosidic (acetal) linkages. On Hydrolysis yield a large number of Monosaccharide units or their derivatives.
19 POLYSACCHARIDE MAY BE CLASSIFIED INTO TWO GROUPS When polysaccharides are composed of a single type of monosaccharide building block, they are termed: Homo polysaccharides or (Homo Glycans). Polysaccharides composed of more than one type of monosaccharide are termed: Hetero polysaccharide or (Hetero Glycans).
20 HOMOPOLYSACCHARIDES: POLYSACCHARIDES MAY BE COMPOSED OF A SINGLE TYPE OF MONOSACCHARIDES G G G G G G G G G Or it may be composed of more than one type of Units AG GA AG GA AG GA AG GA
21
22 HOMOPOLYSACCHARIDES Polysaccharides which are composed of Similar Types of Monosaccharide Units. Common examples are: Starch. Glycogen. Cellulose. Dextrin.
23 TWO TYPES OF GLYCOSIDIC LINKAGES IN GLUCOSE POLYMERS: 1-4, Glycosidic Linkage. 1-6, Glycosidic Linkage (Branch Point)
24 STARCH:A COMPLEX GLUCOSE POLYMER It is a homopolysaccharide comprising of molecules of glucose joined together by alpha 1,4 and alpha 1,6 linkages. It is made up of two polysaccharide units. AMYLOSE AMYLOPECTIN
25 Amylose: Straight Chain of Glucose molecules. Having Only 1-4, Glycosidic Linkages. Amylopectin: Complexed & highly Branched Polymer of Glucose. Having Both 1-4 & 1-6, Linkages. Linear Segment with 1-4 Linkage. 1-6, Linkages at Branch Points.
26 ALPHA 1-4 LINKAGE
27 ALPHA 1-6 LINKAGE
28 AMYLOSE; UNBRANCHED GLUCOSE POLYMER Straight chain of Glucose molecules. Several thousands of Glucose units (In the range of 300 and 3000). 1 4 Glycosidic bonds. 1 4 Reducing End Non-reducing End
29 AMYLOPECTIN; COMPLEXED & HIGHLY BRANCHED POLYMER OF GLUCOSE. Having Both 1-4 (Linear Segment) & 1-6, Linkages (Branch Points). Branching takes place with (1 6) bonds occurring every 24 to 30 glucose units. Formed of 2,000 to 200,000 glucose units.
30 STARCH IS A COMPLEX OF TWO TYPES OF GLUCOSE POLYMERS Unbranched highly coiled Amylose Highly branched uncoiled Amylopectin
31 STARCH; MIXTURE OF TWO COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES Amylose Forms about 25% of starch molecule. Unbranched Highly coiled Amylopectin Forms about 75% of starch molecule. Highly branched Uncoiled.
32 STARCH; DIETARY SOURCES In human diet Starch is commonly obtained from: Cereals (Rice, Wheat, and Corn) Potatoes and sweet potato. Fruits such as Banana.
33 STARCH: BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Major form of stored carbohydrate in plant cells. Plants store starch within specialized organelles called Amyloplasts. When energy is needed for cell work, the plant hydrolyzes the starch releasing the glucose. Humans also have enzymes to hydrolyze (Digest) starch.
34 Principle dietary carbohydrate. In terms of human nutrition, starch is by far the most important of the polysaccharides. It constitutes more than half the carbohydrates even in many affluent diets, and much more in poorer diets. Major source of Glucose (Metabolic fuel).
35 DEXTRINS ARE PARTIALLY HYDROLYSED STARCH Intermediate products of hydrolysis of starch by acids or Amylase. Similar to starch but less complex and having lower molecular weight. Dextrin occurs in all starch producing parts of plants as an intermediate of starch synthesis or break down.
36 GLYCOGEN Polymer of about 60,000 Glucose residues. Structure similar to Starch, but is even more compact & highly branched. This compactness allows large amounts of energy to be stored in a small volume, with little effect on cellular osmolarity. Glycogen is the analogue of starch in plants, and is commonly referred to as animal starch.
37 GLYCOGEN; BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE Major form of storage of carbohydrates (energy store) in animal liver and muscles Primary short term energy storage. Forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose (Energy)
38 ONLY THE LIVER GLYCOGEN IS THE SOURCE OF BLOOD GLUCOSE AND MADE AVAILABLE TO OTHER ORGANS Although the total amount of Glycogen in muscles exceeds that in liver, Only the stores in the liver can be made accessible to other organs. Muscle glycogen provides Glucose (Metabolic fuel) to muscles only during exercise.
39 CELLULOSE DISTRIBUTION Most abundant organic compound in the earth's biosphere is in cellulose. Cellulose is the primary structural component of green plants. The primary cell wall of green plants is made of cellulose. Wood is largely cellulose, while paper and cotton are nearly pure cellulose.
40 CELLULOSE STRUCTURE; STRAIGHT, UNBRANCHED AND UNCOILED CHAIN OF GLUCOSE Glucose Polymer: 500 to 5000 Glucose units. Glucose units linked by β(1 4)-glycosidic bonds.
41 CELLULOSE; BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE It is a structural polysaccharide. The peculiar long fiber like structure contributes to their high tensile strength. Due to high tensile strength it is important in cell walls, where they provide rigidity to plant cells.
42 NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CELLULOSE IS INSIGNIFICANT IN HUMAN BEINGS Humans and many other animals lack an enzyme (Cellulase) to break the betalinkages, so they do not digest cellulose. In the diets of humans Cellulose functions as roughage and is eliminated largely unchanged.
43 CELLULOSE; CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Cellulose is not digestible by humans and is often referred to as 'Dietary fiber' or 'Roughage. Roughage acts as a bulking agent that increases the intestinal motility and helps propagating intestinal contents. Dietary Cellulose therefore prevents Constipation.
44 HETROPOLYSACCHARIDES MAY BE CLASSIFIED IN THREE MAJOR GROUPS Mucopolysaccharides. Mucilages Hemicellulose
45 MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES Composed of: Amino Sugars and Uronic Acids. Important examples are: Hyaluronic Acid Chondrotin Heparin.
46 HYALURONIC ACID AND CHONDROTIN ARE IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF INTERCELLULAR MATRIX Intercellular Matrix is the organic material filled in the intercellular spaces (So Called Ground substance). This organic matter is composed mainly of: Collagen (Protein) and Mucopolysaccharides.
47 INTERCELLULAR MATRIX (GROUND SUBSTANCE) PLAYS MANY IMPORTANT AND VITAL ROLES: Cementing and strengthening substance for the tissue cells. Protective Barrier for the tissues. Holds the extracellular water and electrolytes in a homogenous distribution in the body. Intercellular Matrix is the Protective Barrier for the tissues. Any living or non living injurious substance when penetrates the tissue, they have to pass through the ground substance to reach the cells. The ground substance prevents the penetration of bacteria or any injurious agent in the tissue.
48 MAJOR MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES OF GROUND SUBSTANCE ARE: Hyaluronic acid in soft tissues Chondrotin in hard tissues.
49 HYALURONIC ACID Long chain of alternate molecules of: Glucuronic Acid And N Acetyl Glucosamine. Hyaluronic Acid is Principally Found in Ground Substance Of the Soft Tissues e.g. Skin, Muscles, Liver and Synovial Fluid.
50 BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF ACID. HYALURONIC Being the component of ground substance It has a significant contribution in all the vital functions of Intercellular Matrix. Lubrication of Joints. Hyaluronic acid present in the synovial joint spaces acts as lubricant and shock absorber.
51 CHONDROTIN Mainly present in the Ground Substance of Bone and Cartilage. Polymer of N Acetyl Galactoseamine and Glucuronic Acid. They help in compressibility of cartilage and weight bearing.
52 HEPARIN Polymer of: Glucosamine Sulphate and Glucuronic Acid Sulphate. o IT is produced by mast cells.
53 HEPARIN IS A NATURAL ANTICOAGULANT Heparin is a natural anticoagulant for the blood as it prevents the unnecessary and harmful intravascular coagulation of blood. Widely used as an anticoagulant drug. Secretion and action of Heparin as an Anticoagulant is one of Haemodynamic mechanisms which are responsible for the smooth blood flow.
