The four kelohexoses are fructose, sorbose, allulose and tagatose. See glucose for example of isomerization between open chain and cyclic structures in a typical hexose molecule. 

Both molarity and formality express concentration as moles of solute per liter of solution. There is, however, a subtle difference between molarity and formality. Molarity is the concentration of a particular chemical species in solution. Formality, on the other hand, is a substance s total concentration in solution without regard to its specific chemical form. There is no difference between a substance s molarity and formality if it dissolves without dissociating into ions. The molar concentration of a solution of glucose, for example, is the same as its formality. 

An alternative approach to the use of a-aminoketones involves acetals (72JOC221) and pyrazine-2,3-diones have been synthesized by this route (Scheme 58). The acetals are readily available from the phthalimido derivatives via the a-chloroketones. Hemiacetals have also served as a starting point for pyrazine synthesis, although in most cases hemiacetals are too labile to be easily prepared examples are common in the 2-amino-2-deoxy sugar series 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose for example dimerizes to the pyrazine (101) when generated in situ from the hydrochloride salt (68JAP6813469). 

Even though acetate units, such as those obtained from fatty acid oxidation, cannot be used for net synthesis of carbohydrate in animals, labeled carbon from " C-labeled acetate can be found in newly synthesized glucose (for example, in liver glycogen) in animal tracer studies. Explain how this can be. Which carbons of glucose would you expect to be the first to be labeled by "Relabeled acetate ... 

A useful variation of the Williamson synthesis involves silver oxide, Ag20, as a mild base rather than NaH. Under these conditions, the free alcohol reacts directly with alkyl halide, so there is no need to preform the metal alkoxide intermediate. Sugars react particularly well glucose, for example, reacts with excess iodomethane in the presence of Ag20 to generate a pentaether in 85% yield. 

Acetal and hemiacetal groups are particularly common in carbohydrate chemistry. Glucose, for instance, is a polyhydroxy aldehyde that undergoes an internal nucleophilic addition reaction and exists primarily as a cyclic hemiacetal. 

Carbohydrates with more than one chirality center are shown in. Fischer projections by stacking the centers on top of one another. By convention, the carbony] carbon is always placed either at or near the top. Glucose, for... 

If the carbonyl and the hydroxyl group are in the same molecule, an intramolecular nucleophilic addition can take place, leading to the formation of a cyclic hemiacetal. Five- and six-membered cyclic hemiacetals are relatively strain-free and particularly stable, and many carbohydrates therefore exist in an equilibrium between open-chain and cyclic forms. Glucose, for instance, exists in aqueous solution primarily in the six-membered, pyranose form resulting from intramolecular nucleophilic addition of the -OH group at C5 to the Cl carbonyl group (Figure 25.4). The name pyranose is derived from pyran, the name of the unsaturated six-membered cyclic ether. 

We can regard sucrose and starch as sources of glucose, for these react with water to form glucose in the body ... 

Using these equations it is possible to calculate theoretical values for glucose yield coefficients (Yg). Yg values can be calculated for cell mass, phenylalanine and acetic add and is simply the amount of produd produced per unit amount of glucose consumed. So the theoretical yield of phenylalanine on glucose, for example using equation 8.1, is ... 

Extrapolations are always subject to error, but fortunately the contribution to the entropy resulting from the extrapolation is a small part of the total. In glucose, for example, S g = 219.2 0.4 J-K -moF1, but the entropy contribution at 10 K obtained from the Debye extrapolation is only 0.28 J-K 1-mol 1. Well-designed cryogenic calorimeters are able to produce Cp measurements of high accuracy hence, the Third Law entropy obtained from the Cp measurements can also be of high accuracy. 

Sometimes it is important to know the three-dimensional structure of a molecule. In glucose, for example,... 

Glucose is the most important carbohydrate in mammalian biochemistry because nearly all carbohydrate in food is converted to glucose for metabohsm. 

In the liver, its major function is to ptovide glucose for extrahepatic tissues. In muscle, it setves mainly as a ready source of metabolic fuel fot use in muscle. 

The exact processes by which carbohydrates and fats are converted to CO2 and H2 O depend on the conditions and the particular needs of the cell. Each possible route involves a complex series of chemical reactions, many of which are accompanied by the conversion of ADP to ATP. One molecule of glucose, for example, is oxidized to CO2 and H2 O in a sequence of many individual reactions that can convert as many as 36 ADP molecules into ATP molecules H12 Og + 6 O2 + 36 ADP + 36 H3 PO4 6 CO2 + 36 ATP +42 H2 O... 

Figure 1. Time-course of pectin lyase activity in cultures of F. oxysporum f. sp. radicis-tycopersici. Fungus was first grown on unrestricted glucose for three days, then the biomass was or shifted to restricted glucose and, after one day, to restricted galacturonic acid (1) or shifted to pectin (2). Enzyme activity was determined as increase in A235 nm (- -) and by viscosimetry (- -) and determined for 10 min.

DM is characterized by a complete lack of insulin, a relative lack of insulin, or insulin resistance. These defects result in an inability to properly use glucose for energy. DM affects an estimated 20.8 million persons in the United States, or 7% of the population. While an estimated 14.6 million persons have been diagnosed, another 6.2 million people who have DM are unaware they have the disease. Worldwide, the number of people with DM is expected to rise to 35% by the year 2025.1... 

When the Maillard reaction was evaluated using 10 g/1 glucose for 30 minutes at 90 °C and 20 1 liquor ratio the fibre diameter increased by 3.5% xylose gave an increase almost twice as much but showed some yellowing. In this process accessibility of the fibre for dye molecules is increased, since the glucose molecules penetrate between the peptide chains. The reaction also introduces primary alcoholic groups, making the wool more dyeable with... 

By boiling glucose for four and one-half hours with twice its weight of methyl alcohol containing 3 per cent of hydrochloric acid. Patterson and Robertson, J. Chem. Soc. 1929, 300. 

The alkane rc-tetradecane was found to have significant effect on desulfurization ability, with the rate being 10 times more than that obtained when using glucose for biocatalyst growth. This effect was associated with production of rhamnolipids by the strain. However, the mechanism by which alkane actually enhances desulfurization activity, whether it is by assisting in biosurfactant production or by some other mechanism was not reported. However, this biocatalyst was found to be active for only a short period (4h) during its desulfurization test with oils.
