Calculate the net charge of a chondroitin-4-sulfate molecule containing 100 disaccharide units.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Chondroitin-4-sulfate molecule have net charge -2. So, the 100 disaccharide units have a charge of -200.

Step by step solution

01

Chondroitin-4-sulfate disaccharide

Chondroitin-4-sulfate is a disaccharide sugar. Charge of the Chondroitin-4-sulfate is -2. It does not change with the disaccharide chaining of the molecule.

02

Net charge of 100 disaccharide units of Chondroitin-4-sulfate disaccharide

The chondroitin-4-sulfate charge does not change with any addition of the molecule. The 100 units of Chondroitin-4-sulfate contain the net charge of

100 x (-2)

= -200.

The net charge of 100 units of Chondroitin-4-sulfate is -200.

(a) Deduce the structure of the disaccharide trehalose from the following information: Complete hydrolysis yields only D-glucose; it is hydrolyzed by 伪-glucosidase but not 尾-glucosidase; and it does not reduce Cu2+to Cu+. (b) When exposed to dehydrating conditions, many plants and invertebrates synthesize large amounts of trehalose, which enables them to survive prolonged desiccation. What properties of the trehalose molecule might allow it to act as a water substitute?
