Ribose | Ribose, which exists in yeast and cells in the form of glycoside, is an integral part of nucleic acid, some enzymes and vitamins. In addition to ribose, there is also 2-deoxyribose (called deoxyribose for short) in nucleic acid. The ring of ribose and deoxyribose is furan ring, so it is called furanose. β- D - (-) - furan ribose β- D - (-) - deoxyfuran Ribonucleic acid Ribose in or deoxyribose on C-1 β- Glycoside bond to ribonucleoside or Deoxyribonucleoside , collectively referred to as nucleosides. The ribose or deoxyribose in the nucleoside is combined with phosphoric acid by ester bond with the hydroxyl group on C-5 or C-3 nucleotide 。 Nucleotides containing ribose are collectively referred to as Ribonucleotide , the basic unit of RNA; Nucleotides containing deoxyribose are collectively referred to as Deoxyribonucleotide Is the basic unit of DNA. |

glucose | D - (+) - glucose is widely distributed in nature, especially in grapes, so it is called glucose. Glucose also exists in human blood (389-555umol/l) blood sugar 。 The urine of diabetic patients contains glucose, and the sugar content varies with the severity of the disease. Glucose is a variety of sugars, such as sucrose malt dust 、 lactose , starch Glycogen , cellulose, etc. Glucose is a colorless crystal or white crystalline powder, melting point 146 ℃, easily soluble in water, and difficult to dissolve in alcohol , sweet. Natural glucose is dextral, so it is also called Dextrose 。 In the liver, glucose is oxidized into grapes by enzymes Uronic acid That is, the hydroxymethyl group on the end of glucose is oxidized to carboxyl group. Glucuronic acid In the liver, it can combine with toxic substances such as alcohol and phenol to form non-toxic compounds, which can be discharged from the body by urine Detoxification 。 |

Galactose | Galactose combines with glucose to form lactose, which is found in mammal Galactose is also found in some cerebrosides with complex structure in the brain marrow. Galactose is hexaldose, the diastereomer of glucose. The only difference between the two is that the configuration of C-4 is just opposite, so they are the epimers of C-4. Galactose also has a ring structure, also on C-1 α- and β- Two configurations. α- D-galactopyranose β- D-galactopyranose Galactose is a colorless crystal with a melting point of 165-166 ℃. half lactose yes Reducibility There is also the phenomenon of rotation change, and the specific rotation at equilibrium is+83.3 °. Galactose in human body is the hydrolysate of lactose in food. Galactose can be converted into glucose under the catalysis of enzyme. Some derivatives of galactose are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. For example, Galacturonic acid It is the main component of plant mucus; Carrageenin 9 is also called agar )The main composition of is the high polymer of galactose derivatives. |

fructose | D-fructose, a constituent unit of sucrose, exists in fruits and honey in a free state semen It also contains a considerable amount of fructose. Fructose is colorless crystal, easy to use and soluble in water, and its melting point is 105 ℃. D-fructose is Levulose There is also the phenomenon of rotation change, and the specific rotation at equilibrium is - 92 °. This equilibrium system is a mixture of open chain and ring fructose. β- D - (-) - Fructopyranose β- D - (-) - furan fructose When fructose is free, it mainly exists in the form of pyran ring; when it is bound, it mostly exists in the form of furan ring. Fructose can also form phosphate esters. Fructose-6-phosphate ester (represented by F-6 -) and fructose-1,6-diphosphate (represented by F-1,6-di) are present in the body. Fructose phosphate in vivo Carbohydrate metabolism It plays an important role in sugar metabolism. F-1,6-di can be produced under the catalysis of enzyme Glyceraldehyde -3-phosphate and dihydroxy acetone Phosphate ester. The body changes hexose into triose through this reaction, which is an intermediate step in the process of sugar metabolism. This reaction is similar to Aldol condensation reaction The reverse reaction of. |

Aminosugar | Amino sugar in nature is a derivative of hexaldose in which the hydroxyl group on C-2 is replaced by amino group. Amino sugars are often present in mucin and glycoprotein However, free galactosamine is toxic to the liver. |

Uronic acid | The hydroxyl group furthest from the aldehyde group in the aldose is oxidized to carboxyl It is made of sugar and acid. Natural uronic acids include D-glucose, D-mannose and D-galactose The three derived hexuronic acids are animal, plant and Microbial polysaccharide Of which only Galacturonic acid It can exist in plant fruits in free state. In animals, D- Glucuronic acid It has the function of detoxification. There are many kinds of glycosides that can combine with D-glucuronic acid, generally small molecule compounds, including phenols, aromatic acids, fatty acids Aromatic hydrocarbon Etc. Generally, the ratio of glycosyl group to D-glucuronic acid is 1 ∶ 1, with few exceptions. The binding site is mainly in the liver. |

Deoxysaccharide | Monosaccharide hydroxyl A compound formed by the substitution of hydrogen. As D-2- Deoxyribose Is a component of DNA; L-fucose is a component of some glycoproteins, which is L-6-deoxygalactose. |

Nucleoside diphosphate sugar | Nucleoside diphosphate sugar monosaccharide and nucleoside diphosphate terminal phosphate group are connected by glycosidic bond. The activated glycosyl group is involved in many metabolic reactions, especially oligosaccharide And polysaccharide biosynthesis 。 More than 100 kinds of natural nucleoside diphosphate sugars have been studied, such as UDP glucose, ADP glucose, CDP glucose, GDP glucose and TDP glucose. Uridine diphosphate glucose (uridine diphosphate glucose, UDPG) can be used as the representative of nucleoside diphosphate sugar. |
