Sugars molecular structure

Chlorophyll, as extracted from plants, is actually made up of two closely related compounds, chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B. These differ slightly in molecular structure and can be separated because they have different tendencies to be adsorbed on a finely divided solid (such as powdered sugar). 

The six-carbon sugar a-galactose is identical to a-glucose except at carbon atom number 4, where the orientations are different. Draw the molecular structure of a-galactose. Simplify the stmcture by using flat rings rather than the true three-dimensional forms. 

The macrolide antibiotics are characterized by possessing molecular structures that contain large (12-16-membered) lactone rings linked through glycosidic bonds with amino sugars.

Nitrogenous base plus sugar moiety are called nucleosides. Ribonucleic acids (RNA) resemble DNA in that nucleoside monophosphates are joined through phosphodiester bonds. RNAs differ in that the sugars are p-D-ribose units and the pyrimidine uracil is found in place of thymine. Molecular structures and nomenclature for nitrogenous bases, nucleosides, and nucleotides are delineated in Table 2.2. 

Disintegrants can vaiy in molecular structure based on how they are manufactured or proeessed. Com starch, for example, eontains different proportions of two sugar... 

The Mills-Nixon hypothesis that small ring annelation on benzene would induce bond fixation (bond alternation) by trapping out one Kekul6 tautomer is a casualty of early twentieth century structural chemistry. Due to a lack of direct methods for analyzing molecular structure, structural postulates of that time were often supported by an analysis of product distributions. An experimental observable such as product selectivity or isomer count was correlated to an unobservable structural feature derived on the basis of a chemical model. Classical successes of this method are van t Hoff s proof of the tetrahedral carbon atom and Fischer s proof for the configuration of sugars. In the case of Mills and Nixon, however, the paradigm broke down.

The molecular structure of the anticancer drug daunomycin is shown in Fig. 1. It consists of an anthraquinone ring system (aglycon), the portion which intercalates into the DNA [15], and an amino sugar group (daunosamine), which stays in the DNA minor groove.
