Sugars specific types

Depending upon chemical structure and the conformations that are possible, polysaccharides in solution may develop secondary structures such as helices, tertiary structures formed from junction zones or by double helix or triple helix unions and even quaternary structures from the cross linking of tertiary structures. Polysaccharides thus mimic proteins and nucleic acids, which are specific types of sugar-phosphoric acid copolymers.

Having established that bilayer flexibility and bilayer interaction are the mesoscopic determinants, the next question is whether these determinants can be coupled to molecular parameters. In fact, this has been done to quite some extent. In general, bilayer flexibility can be shown (both experimentally as well as theoretically by simulation methods) to be directly related to bilayer thickness, lateral interaction between heads and tails of the surfactants, type of head group (ethoxylate, sugar, etc.), type of tail (saturated, unsaturated) and specific molecular mixes (e.g. SDS with or without pen-tanol). The bilayer interaction is known to be related to characteristics such as classical electrostatics. Van der Waals, Helfrich undulation forces (stemming from shape fluctuations), steric hindrance, number, density of bilayers, ionic strength, and type of salt. Two examples will be dicussed. 

Carbohydrate nutrition is different in nature from the nutrition of amino acids, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Humans have no dietary requirement for any specific type of carbohydrate. All carbohydrates of the body can be synthesized from dietary glucose or fructose, the major sugars in the diet. The body stores sugar in the form of glycogen, a polysaccharide composed of glucose units.
