  2. Carbohydrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate

    Lactose is a disaccharide found in animal milk. It consists of a molecule of D-galactose and a molecule of D-glucose bonded by beta-1-4 glycosidic linkage.. A carbohydrate (/ ˌ k ɑːr b oʊ ˈ h aɪ d r eɪ t /) is a biomolecule consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) atoms, usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 (as in water) and thus with the empirical formula C m ...

  3. Category:Carbohydrate chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Category:Carbohydrate_chemistry

    Carbohydrate chemistry is a field of study concerned with the synthesis, structure and function of carbohydrates.Due to the complexity of these structures, the chemical synthesis of carbohydrates has a variety of unique strategies and methods.

  4. Carbohydrate synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_synthesis

    Carbohydrate synthesis is a sub-field of organic chemistry concerned with generating complex carbohydrate structures from simple units (monosaccharides). The generation of carbohydrate structures usually involves linking monosaccharides or oligosaccharides through glycosidic bonds, a process called glycosylation. Therefore, it is important to ...

  5. Carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbohydrate_metabolism

    Carbohydrate metabolism is the whole of the biochemical processes responsible for the metabolic formation, breakdown, and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms. Carbohydrates are central to many essential metabolic pathways . [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Carbohydrates

    Carbohydrates (literally hydrates of carbon) are chemical compounds, which together with proteins, lipids , and nucleic acids (RNA/DNA), constitute the 4 principal biological macromolecules of which all life on Earth is composed. Together with lipids, carbohydrates are the primary means by which living organisms store energy.

  7. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of carbohydrates

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_magnetic_resonance...

    Carbohydrate NMR spectroscopy is the application of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to structural and conformational analysis of carbohydrates.This method allows the scientists to elucidate structure of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, glycoconjugates and other carbohydrate derivatives from synthetic and natural sources.

  8. Osazone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osazone

    Osazone are a class of carbohydrate derivatives found in organic chemistry formed when reducing sugars are reacted with excess of phenylhydrazine at boiling temperatures. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Formation

  9. Monosaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosaccharide

    Monosaccharides are the simplest units of carbohydrates and the simplest form of sugar. If the carbonyl is at position 1 (that is, n or m is zero), the molecule begins with a formyl group H(C=O)− and is technically an aldehyde. In that case, the compound is termed an aldose.
