  • #29: FIGURE 7-5 Formation of hemiacetals and hemiketals. An aldehyde or ketone can react with an alcohol in a 1:1 ratio to yield a hemiacetal or hemiketal, respectively, creating a new chiral center at the carbonyl carbon. Substitution of a second alcohol molecule produces an acetal or ketal. When the second alcohol is part of another sugar molecule, the bond produced is a glycosidic bond (p. 243).
  • #32: FIGURE 7-6 Formation of the two cyclic forms of D-glucose. Reaction between the aldehyde group at C-1 and the hydroxyl group at C-5 forms a hemiacetal linkage, producing either of two stereoisomers, the α and β anomers, which differ only in the stereochemistry around the hemiacetal carbon. The interconversion of α and β anomers is called mutarotation.
  • #33: FIGURE 7-7 Pyranoses and furanoses. The pyranose forms of D-glucose and the furanose forms of D-fructose are shown here as Haworth perspective formulas. The edges of the ring nearest the reader are represented by bold lines. Hydroxyl groups below the plane of the ring in these Haworth perspectives would appear at the right side of a Fischer projection (compare with Figure 7-6). Pyran and furan are shown for comparison.
  • #39: FIGURE 7-9 Some hexose derivatives important in biology. In amino sugars, an —NH2 group replaces one of the —OH groups in the parent hexose. Substitution of —H for —OH produces a deoxy sugar; note that the deoxy sugars shown here occur in nature as the L isomers. The acidic sugars contain a carboxylate group, which confers a negative charge at neutral pH. D-Glucono-δ-lactone results from formation of an ester linkage between the C-1 carboxylate group and the C-5 (also known as the δ carbon) hydroxyl group of D-gluconate.
  • #41: FIGURE 7-11 Formation of maltose. A disaccharide is formed from two monosaccharides (here, two molecules of D-glucose) when an —OH (alcohol) of one glucose molecule (right) condenses with the intramolecular hemiacetal of the other glucose molecule (left), with elimination of H2O and formation of a glycosidic bond. The reversal of this reaction is hydrolysis—attack by H2O on the glycosidic bond. The maltose molecule, shown here as an illustration, retains a reducing hemiacetal at the C-1 not involved in the glycosidic bond. Because mutarotation interconverts the α and β forms of the hemiacetal, the bonds at this position are sometimes depicted with wavy lines, as shown here, to indicate that the structure may be either α or β.
  • #42: FIGURE 7-12 Some common disaccharides. Like maltose in Figure 7-11, these are shown as Haworth perspectives. The common name, full systematic name, and abbreviation are given for each disaccharide. Formal nomenclature for sucrose names glucose as the parent glycoside, although it is typically depicted as shown, with glucose on the left.
  • #43: Table 7-1
  • #46: FIGURE 7-14a Glycogen and starch. (a) A short segment of amylose, a linear polymer of D-glucose residues in (α1→4) linkage. A single chain can contain several thousand glucose residues. Amylopectin has stretches of similarly linked residues between branch points. Glycogen has the same basic structure, but has more branching than amylopectin.
  • #47: FIGURE 7-14b Glycogen and starch. (b) An (α1→6) branch point of glycogen or amylopectin.
  • #48: FIGURE 7-14c Glycogen and starch. (c) A cluster of amylose and amylopectin like that believed to occur in starch granules. Strands of amylopectin (red) form double-helical structures with each other or with amylose strands (blue). Glucose residues at the nonreducing ends of the outer branches are removed enzymatically during the mobilization of starch for energy production. Glycogen has a similar structure but is more highly branched and more compact.
  • #49: FIGURE 7-15a Cellulose. (a) Two units of a cellulose chain; the D-glucose residues are in (β1→4) linkage. The rigid chair structures can rotate relative to one another.
  • #50: FIGURE 7-17a Chitin. (a) A short segment of chitin, a homopolymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units in (β1→4) linkage.
  • #51: FIGURE 7-20b Starch (amylose). (b) A model of a segment of amylose; for clarity, the hydroxyl groups have been omitted from all but one of the glucose residues. Compare the two residues shaded in pink with the chemical structures in (a). The conformation of (α1→4) linkages in amylose, amylopectin, and glycogen causes these polymers to assume tightly coiled helical structures. These compact structures produce the dense granules of stored starch or glycogen seen in many cells (see Figure 20-2).
  • #52: FIGURE 7-21 Agarose. The repeating unit consists of D-galactose (β1→4)-linked to 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose (in which an ether bridge connects C-3 and C-6). These units are joined by (α1→3) glycosidic links to form a polymer 600 to 700 residues long. A small fraction of the 3,6-anhydrogalactose residues have a sulfate ester at C-2 (as shown here).
  • #53: FIGURE 7-22 (part 1) Repeating units of some common glycosaminoglycans of extracellular matrix. The molecules are copolymers of alternating uronic acid and amino sugar residues (keratan sulfate is the exception), with sulfate esters in any of several positions, except in hyaluronan. The ionized carboxylate and sulfate groups (red in the perspective formulas) give these polymers their characteristic high negative charge. Therapeutic heparin contains primarily iduronic acid (IdoA) and a smaller proportion of glucuronic acid (GlcA, not shown), and is generally highly sulfated and heterogeneous in length. The space-filling model shows a heparin segment as its solution structure, as determined by NMR spectroscopy (PDB ID 1HPN). The carbons in the iduronic acid sulfate are colored blue; those in glucosamine sulfate are green. Oxygen and sulfur atoms are shown in their standard colors of red and yellow, respectively. The hydrogen atoms are not shown (for clarity). Heparan sulfate (not shown) is similar to heparin but has a higher proportion of GlcA and fewer sulfate groups, arranged in a less regular pattern.

  • #58: FIGURE 7-25a Two families of membrane proteoglycans. (a) Schematic diagrams of a syndecan and a glypican in the plasma membrane. Syndecans are held in the membrane by hydrophobic interactions between a sequence of nonpolar amino acid residues and plasma membrane lipids; they can be released by a single proteolytic cut near the membrane surface. In a typical syndecan, the extracellular aminoterminal domain is covalently attached (by tetrasaccharide linkers such as those in Figure 7-24) to three heparan sulfate chains and two chondroitin sulfate chains. Glypicans are held in the membrane by a covalently attached membrane lipid (GPI anchor; see Chapter 11), and are shed if the lipid-protein bond is cleaved by a phospholipase. All glypicans have 14 conserved Cys residues, which form disulfide bonds to stabilize the protein moiety, and either two or three glycosaminoglycan chains attached near the carboxyl terminus, close to the membrane surface.
  • #59: FIGURE 7-27 Proteoglycan aggregate of the extracellular matrix. Schematic drawing of a proteoglycan with many aggrecan molecules. One very long molecule of hyaluronan is associated noncovalently with about 100 molecules of the core protein aggrecan. Each aggrecan molecule contains many covalently bound chondroitin sulfate and keratan sulfate chains. Link proteins at the junction between each core protein and the hyaluronan backbone mediate the core protein–hyaluronan interaction. The micrograph shows a single molecule of aggrecan, viewed with the atomic force microscope (see Box 11-1).
  • #60: FIGURE 7-28 Interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix. The association between cells and the proteoglycan of the extracellular matrix is mediated by a membrane protein (integrin) and by an extracellular protein (fibronectin in this example) with binding sites for both integrin and the proteoglycan. Note the close association of collagen fibers with the fibronectin and proteoglycan.
  • #61: FIGURE 7-30 Bacterial lipopolysaccharides. Schematic diagram of the lipopolysaccharide of the outer membrane of Salmonella typhimurium. Kdo is 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid (previously called ketodeoxyoctonic acid); Hep is L-glycero-D-manno-heptose; AbeOAc is abequose (a 3,6-dideoxyhexose) acetylated on one of its hydroxyls. There are six fatty acid residues in the lipid A portion of the molecule. Different bacterial species have subtly different lipopolysaccharide structures, but they have in common a lipid region (lipid A), a core oligosaccharide also known as endotoxin, and an "O-specific" chain, which is the principal determinant of the serotype (immunological reactivity) of the bacterium. The outer membranes of the gram-negative bacteria S. typhimurium and E. coli contain so many lipopolysaccharide molecules that the cell surface is virtually covered with O-specific chains.
  • #64: FIGURE 7-31 Role of lectin-ligand interactions in lymphocyte movement to the site of an infection or injury. A neutrophil circulating through a capillary is slowed by transient interactions between P-selectin molecules in the plasma membrane of the capillary endothelial cells and glycoprotein ligands for P-selectin on the neutrophil surface. As it interacts with successive P-selectin molecules, the neutrophil rolls along the capillary surface. Near a site of inflammation, stronger interactions between integrin in the capillary surface and its ligand in the neutrophil surface lead to tight adhesion. The neutrophil stops rolling and, under the influence of signals sent out from the site of inflammation, begins extravasation—escape through the capillary wall—as it moves toward the site of inflammation.
