You left out some basic stuff in the first ten minutes. The Carbon atom which determines the chirality of the Carbohydrate is called the Anomeric Carbon, and it is always linked to the Carbonyl group.
The carbon atom that determines the chirality of the carbohydrate is called the chiral carbon, and it is the one that has four different groups attached to it. The anomeric carbon is the one that forms the bond with the oxygen in the ring structure of the carbohydrate, and it can be either alpha or beta depending on the orientation of the hydroxyl group. The anomeric carbon is usually the same as the carbonyl carbon, but not always. For example, in fructose, the anomeric carbon is the second carbon, not the first one. Please my statement is not entirely accurate, I am extremely sorry. Thank you.
@thomashalm8585 a quick question my friend, how do I study this topic knowing that my chemistry is really bad. I have an exam in the next few days and our topics are An introduction sheet: talking about cells and types of transport mechanism, and this sheet is really simple. The 2nd 3rd 4rth 5th sheets are 2- carbohydrates 3- amino acids 4- proteins 5- lipids And it's my first year in medical school. Any tips on how I deal with these topic, any good sources, lectures etc I would really appreciate it thx
@@Md_alosta_2004 Wow... i am in 2nd year too. Good for u. Ok so what i want u to do is to get this textbook.... Lippincott Biochem 7th edition. Also know ur amino acid charges, polarites and metabolic fates (Gluceogenic and Ketogenic). When it comes to carbohydrates, know ur glycolipids and Glycosaminoglycans very well... and the glycosidic linkages as well. Of course, u should also know ur ketoses, aldoses, reducing and non reducing sugars. As for lipids u have to know the classifications well. Also read on Delta and Omega nomenclature- NOT REALLY HIGH YIELD. For Proteins, we didn't have that in our syllabus... but read on Chaperones and Protein folding and diseases which might be caused by Protein misfolding. I have lots of study material I can share on telegram so hit me up. My username is @skwengy
@@Md_alosta_2004 And for the chemistry part... bruh everyone's chemistry is bad in med school. Best you can do is use Khanacademy and Org. Chem tutor. But really once u take the pain to understand what is actually going on... It gets really easy. And just so u know... YOU CAN DO THIS
