This document discusses biomolecules including glycosides, amino sugars, and deoxy sugars. Glycosides are sugar derivatives containing a sugar moiety bound to a non-sugar moiety via a glycosidic linkage. The sugar part is called the glycone and the non-sugar part is the aglycone. Amino sugars contain an amino group and are components of glycoproteins, gangliosides, and glycosaminoglycans. Deoxy sugars have a hydroxyl group replaced with hydrogen, making them unstable and prone to forming resins, with deoxy ribose found in DNA given as an example.

Biomolecules
(Glycosides, Amino Sugar, Deoxy Sugar)
Glycosides
These arethe 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.
4.
Glycone
Glycones arethose substance which contain
carbohydrates or sugar moiety.
Examples: Glucose(Glucoside),
Fructose(Fructoside), Pentose(Pentoside).
5.
Aglycones
Aglycones arealso 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).
6.
Glycosidic Linkage
Thelinkage 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.
7.
In caseof sucrose, the Glycosidic linkage occur
between fructose (Carbon no. 2, C2) and
glucose( C1).
8.
Amino Sugar
Theseare 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
9.
Glycoprotein:
The covalentbinding 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.
10.
Deoxy Sugar
Thereplacement 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.
