Carbohydrate chemistry polyhydroxy aldehyde/ketones chirality and optical isomers – diatereomers & enantiomers hemiacetals and anomers – the cyclic forms of sugars acetals and glycosidic bonds – disaccharides to polysaccharides
Allosteric enzymes …….a) Have two distinct folded conformationsb) Have quaternary structurec) Have a sigmoidal v vs. [S] plotd) all of the above
Allosteric enzymes …….a) Can only be turned on one timeb) Can be regulated only to decrease activityc) Require an ‘activating’ enzyme.d) Can have incremental alterations in activity.

C3H6O3 or…C3(H2O)3
Opposite amino acids, nature typically makes only D carbohydrates.
A carbohydrate is a polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone and their derivatives (e.g. hemiacetals)Although initially named for having the general formula Cn(H2O)n, this is no longer required for something to be classified a carbohydrate.
Name some carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates you might be familiar with include: sugars (monosaccharides) like glucose, and fructose.
Disaccharides like sucrose, maltose, and lactose ….
Polysaccharides like starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
Monosaccharides3-carbon or triose
4-carbon or tetrose
5-carbon pentose
6-carbon hexose

Anomers – diasteromers that interchange in solution
Enantiomers the optical isomer that is the mirror image
Diastereomers optical isomers that aren’t mirror images
Proteoglycans – Protein + glycosaminoglycans - lubricants in connective tissue cartilage = proteoglycan + collagen
Glycoproteins – Proteins with oligosaccharides attached to hydroxyl groups erythropoietin (EPO) – hormone that stimulates RBC production Blood group determinants Even Hemoglobin can be glycosylated – evidence of prolonged hyperglycemia Glycosylation of eye crystallins induce cataracts – connection with diabetes

Early stop codon mutation in glycosyltransferase gene results in nonfunctional enzyme
A vs. B glycosyltranferase enzymes differ in sequence in only 4/354 residues.

“There are no known natural effects of these differing blood types. People with A, B, AB and O phenotypes do not differ in fitness in any major way that we have been able to detect. This suggests that the complete absence of the enzyme (null mutation) is neutral in the current human population and so is the switch from one form of the enzyme to another. (Suggestions that blood type determines susceptibility to some infections are common in the scientific literature. Most of them have not held up. The best correlation is a possible association between blood type O and susceptibility to cholera. This looks pretty good but the cause-and-effect relationship is still up in the air.) “

Flu virus’ gain entry into their host cell by bindingTo (sialic acid) glycoproteinsUsing the hemagglutinin (H).
New viral particles exit by Hydrolyzing the sialic acid offThe host glycoprotein using theirNeuraminidase (N)Tamiflu is a competitive inhibitor of this process.
The H1N1 designation of the flu indicates the type of these two proteins.
