Biomolecules
(Glycosides, Amino Sugar, Deoxy Sugar)
Table of Content
 Glycosides
 Glycosidic Linkage
 Amino Sugar
 Deoxy Sugar
Glycosides
 These are the derivatives of sugars.
 They contain sugar moity bounded with non
sugar moity by Glycosidic linkage.
 The sugar part is also called as ‘Glycone’.
 The non sugar part is also called as ‘Aglycone’
‘Genin’.
 We can also define Glycosides as compounds
which have Glycone which is binded with
Aglycone by Glycosidic linkage.
Glycone
 Glycones are those substance which contain
carbohydrates or sugar moiety.
 Examples: Glucose(Glucoside),
Fructose(Fructoside), Pentose(Pentoside).
Aglycones
 Aglycones are also known by ‘Genin’ or Non-
Sugar moiety.
 We call them non sugar cause they do not
contain sugar or carbohydrates.
 Examples: Hesperitin(Hesperitin),
Naringenin(Naringin).
Glycosidic Linkage
 The linkage between Glycone and Aglycone
moiety is called Glycosidic linkage.
 Glycosidic linkage occurs between Anomeric
carbons of the glycones and aglycones.
 It is a condensation reaction in which water
molecules released during Glycosidic linkage.
 In case of sucrose, the Glycosidic linkage occur
between fructose (Carbon no. 2, C2) and
glucose( C1).
Amino Sugar
 These are the sugar or carbohydrate which
contain Amino group in their structure are called
as Amino sugars.
 They are constituents of Glycoproteins,
Ganglioside, Glycosaminoglycans.
 Examples: N-Acetylglucosamine, D-
Glucosamines, D-Galactosamine, D-
Mannosamine.
 These are also present in Erythromycin and
Carbomycin
Glycoprotein:
 The covalent binding of Oligosaccharides with
Amino Acid side chain result in the formation of
glycoprotein.
 They are present in Collagen, Immunoglobin,
Blood Group etc.
Ganglioside:
 Gangliosides are sialic acid-containing
glycosphingolipids.
 It is a component of brain neurons.
 It is also impart in cell communication.
Glycosaminoglycans
 These are long linear polysaccharides chain of
repeating disaccharides units.
 Present in cellular matrix.
Deoxy Sugar
 The replacement of ‘OH’ present on sugar by the
‘H’ result in the formation of Deoxy sugar.
 These sugars do not form Osazone.
 These sugars are unstable and convert in to
Resins.
 Example: Deoxy Ribose Sugar found in DNA.
