  3. Introduction Carbohydrates are…….. • Widely distributed in plant and animal kingdoms • One of the most abundant class of bio - molecules in nature • Functions :structural role and metabolic role.

  4. Introduction What are carbohydrates ? Organic compounds i.e., compounds of carbon Formula : Cn(H2O)n Hydrates of carbon

  5. What are the atoms present in carbohydrates Atoms : Main C, H and O. Some also contain N, P or S. Fructose Glucose

  6. What are the functional groups in carbohydrates ? Aldehyde Keto Hydroxyl groups - more than one Polyhydroxy And also contain either an Aldehyde or a Keto group Fructose Glucose

  7. Definition Carbohydrates are…….. • Polyhydroxyaldehydes or Polyhydroxyketones, or compounds which give them on hydrolysis. • Polyhydroxy alcohols with free or potentially free aldehyde / keto groups or compounds which yield these on hydrolysis.

  8. Biological Importance Carbohydrates have structural and metabolic functions Metabolic functions • Carbohydrates and energy : • Main source of metabolic energy in the body, e.g., Glucose • Storage forms of energy, e.gs., Starch in plants Glycogen in animals • Ribose is a component of ATP (energy coin of the cell)

  9. Biological Importance……Metabolic functions………. • Dietary fibre, e.gs., cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectins • Detoxification of drugs and bilirubin, e.g., Glucuronic acid • Synthesis of other compounds, i.e., lipids and amino acids - from the carbon skeletons of carbohydrates.

  10. Biological Importance……. Carbohydrates have the following structural functions • Components of structural biomolecules and cell membranes : • e.gs. : In nucleic acids: Ribose in RNA and Deoxyribose in DNA • Nucleotides, e.g., ATP , cAMP contain Ribose • Mucopolysaccharides of ground substances of tissues, synovial fluid of joints etc. • Glycoproteins of blood group antigens, • Glycoproteins and glycolipidsof cell membranes • Cellulose of plants, Chitin of insects, etc.

  11. Medical Importance: • Some important disorders associated with carbohydrates are- • Diabetes mellitus, • Lactose intolerance, • Galactosemia, • Glycogen storage diseases and, • Mucopolysaccharidoses.

  12. Medical Importance…… • Carbohydrate containing drugs (glycosides) are important in Therapeutics. e.g., 1. cardiac glycosides. • Function : Agents whichincrease contractility of heart muscle.

  13. Medical Importance…… • Antibiotics, e.g., Streptomycin, • Use : treatment of tuberculosis • Ouabain • Use : Inhibits Na+ - K+ Pump

  14. Classification of Carbohydrates • 3 classes • Basis : No. of monosaccharide units present / got on hydrolysis Carbohydrates 3 classes • MonosaccharidesOligosaccharidesPolysaccharides • Made up of more than 10 monosaccharide units • Single unit, i.e., • single chain of Carbon atoms • Made up of 2 – 10 monosaccharide units

  15. Classification of Monosaccharides with examples 2 sub classifications E.g : Glucose Eg : Fructose

  16. Classification of Monosaccharides with examples 2nd sub classification Aldoses Ketoses e.g., Glyceraldehyde, Dihydroxy acetone e.g., Erythrose, Erythrulose e.g., Ribose, Ribulose e.g., Glucose, Fructose e.g., - SedoHeptulose

  17. Classification of Oligosaccharides with examples Carbohydrates Oligosaccharides (2-10 monosaccharides) Disaccharides Trisaccharides Others 2 monosaccharides 3 monosaccharides Examples : Maltotriose Raffinose Examples : Maltose Lactose Sucrose

  18. Sub -classification of oligosaccharides Disaccharides - made up of 2 monosaccharides Trisaccharides - made up of 3 monosaccharides Tetrasaccharides - 4 monosacccharides • Pentasaccharides - 5 monosacccharides • Hexasaccharides - 6monosacccharides Others

  19. Glycosidic bonds • Glycosidic bonds : Is the bond which links monosaccharides in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Formation : formed by dehydration between two hydroxyl groups on two monosaccharides.

  20. Sub -classification of dissacharides with examples Definition of Dissacharides Two monosaccharides linked by one glycosidic bond • 2 sub - classes • Basis : Reducing property Disaccharides 2 sub classes • Reducing disaccharidesNon reducing disaccharides • Reduce cupric ions to cuprous ions • Do not reduce Cu++ to Cu+ • Eg : Maltose; Lactose • Eg : Sucrose; Trehalose

  21. Sub -classification of polysaccharides with examples Definition of Polyssacharides More than ten monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds • 2 sub - classes • Basis : On the type of monosaccharides got on hydrolysis Polysaccharides 2 sub classes • HomopolysaccharidesHeterpolysaccharides • Same type of monosaccharide units • Different types of monosaccharide units • Eg : Hyaluronic acid, • Chondroitin sulfate • Eg : Starch, glycogen

  22. Monosaccharides • Monosaccharidesare the ……. • Simplest carbohydrates • Have single chain of carbon atoms (3- 7 carbons) • The basic units of all carbohydrates • Hydrolysis products of oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. • Empirical formula is Cn(H20)n. (n = no. of carbon atoms) • Mono-and disaccharides are referred to as ‘sugars’ - they are sweet to taste (Greek: saccharon means sugar).

  23. Monosaccharides Monosaccharides have single chain of carbons Fructose Glucose

  24. Numbering carbon atoms in Monosaccharides starts from the carbonyl (C=O) end. The carbonyl carbon atom in Aldoses is C1 Ketoses is C2. 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 Fructose Glucose

  25. Ring structure of Monosaccharides • In aqueous solution, monosaccharides containing 5 or more carbon atoms exist mostly as ring structures – • either 5 membered ring - furanose ring • or 6 membered ring - pyranose ring

  26. Straight chain structure Structure of Monosaccharides 6 membered ring - pyranose ring e.g., Glucose; Galactose; Mannose Glucose

  27. Straight chain structure Structure of Monosaccharides 5 membered ring - furanose ring e.g., Fructose; Ribose; Deoxyribose Fructose

  28. Sub-classification of Monosaccharides • Sub classifications : 2 types • Based on functional group present. • Based on no. of carbon atoms present

  29. Combining the two classifications , monosaccharides are named as follows :

  30. Examples for the monosaccharides

  31. Naming of Keto sugars • The names end in ‘ulose’ • Examples : • Erythrulose • Ribulose • Xylulose • Sedoheptulose

  41. Isomerism in Monosaccharides Monosaccharides exhibit basically 2 types of isomerism – Aldose - ketose isomerism Stereoisomerism

  42. AldoseKetose Isomerism • Both have 6 ‘C’ atoms • Both have same molecular formula C6H12O6 • Different structural formula • Different Functional groups Glucose Fructose

  43. 1. Aldose-ketose isomerism Monosaccharides having Same number of carbon atoms and molecular formula but different structural formula, i.e., due to different functional groups (aldehyde or keto) are referred to as aldose-ketose isomers.

  44. Examples for Aldose-ketose isomerism

  45. Stereoisomers have • same empirical formula and structural formulae but • differ in their configuration (arrangement of atoms/groups in space). • Compounds having asymmetric carbon atoms exhibit stereoisomerism. 2. Stereoisomerism Which compounds show stereoisomerism ?

  46. 2. Stereoisomerism Asymmetric carbon atom A carbon atom whose 4 valencies have 4 different groups • For a compound having ‘n’ number of asymmetric atoms 2n number of isomers is possible. • All monosaccharides / sugars except dihydroxyacetone contain asymmetric carbon atoms.

  47. 2. Stereoisomerism Orientation of -H and -OH groups In straight chain structure : Right or left In ring structure Above the plane of the ring or below the plane of the ring Glucose

  48. 2. Stereoisomerism • There are 2 possible orientations of –H and –OH groups around asymmetric carbon atoms of sugars. • In the conventional open chain structural representation, –H or –OH groups fall either to the left or to the right. • In the ring structure, –H or –OH groups will be either above the plane of the ring or below the plane of the ring

  49. Types of Stereoisomerism Stereoisomerisms are of 3 types Basis : based on the configuration around an (any one) asymmetric carbon atom D-L Stereoisomerism Epimerism Anomerism

  50. 2. Stereoisomerism DL Isomerism 5 5 • Penultimate carbon (last but one carbon) 6 6 Last carbon - Ultimate carbon D-Glucose Glucose L-Glucose Glucose
