Glycolipids glycolipide

The cerebroside shown in Fig. 23.10 is an example of a glycolipid. Glycolipids have a polar group that is contributed by a carbohydrate. They do not yield phosphoric acid or choline when they are hydrolyzed.

Another simple sugar that enters glycolysis at the same point as fructose is mannose, which occurs in many glycoproteins, glycolipids, and polysaccharides (Chapter 7). Mannose is also phosphorylated from ATP by hexokinase, and the mannose-6-phosphate thus produced is converted to fructose-6-phosphate by phosphomannoisomerase.

Sophorolipid is a glycolipid, ie it is composed of carbohydrate and lipid. It therefore contains moieties of widely different oxidation levels and its synthesis from single demand carbon sources has a high ATP demand. However, the demand for ATP is reduced if a mixture of glucose and C-18 alkane is used. If glucose and fatty add is used the ATP demand is reduced further and relatively high spedfic production rates can be achieved. 

In this chapter we will examine how cells and enzymes are used in the transformation of lipids. The lipids are, of course, a very diverse and complex series of molecular entities including fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids, aliphatic alcohols, waxes, terpenes and steroids. It is usual to teach about these molecules, in a biochemical context, in more or less the order given above, since this represents a logical sequence leading from simple molecules to the more complex. Here, however, we have adopted a different strategy. 

Phospholipids are a major component of all biological membranes together with glycolipids and cholesterol. Due to their polar nature, i.e. hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail, phospholipids form in water vesicles or liposomes. 

Arabic numerals have also been used in this context, but confusion may result when component sugar residues have structural modifications (eg. cha n requiring superscript locant numbers. The present recommendation folio long established usage in glycolipids [21]. 

Oligosaccharide and polysaccharide structures occur not only in free form but often as parts of glycopeptides or glycoproteins [11] or of glycolipids [21]. It can be cumbersome to designate their structures by using the recommendations of 2-Carb-37. The use of three-letter symbols for monosaccharide residues is therefore recommended. With appropriate locants and anomeric descriptors, long sequences can thus be adequately described in abbreviated form.

Several methylated sugars have been identified in hydrolyzates of LPS, cell-wall polysaccharides, and extracellular polysaccharides. A considerable number of these have been found in the LPS from photosynthetic prokaryotes. Two polysaccharides from Mycobacterium species, a glucan" and a mannan" are remarkable in that they contain high percentages of methylated sugars. Glycolipids from Mycobacterium species are also rich in methylated sugars, some of which have not been found elsewhere, but this is beyond the scope of the present article.
