Glycogen is treated with dimethyl sulfate, which adds a methyl group to every free OH group. Next, the molecule is hydrolyzed to break all the glycosidic bonds between glucose residues. The reaction products are then chemically analyzed. (a) How many different types of methylated glucose molecules are obtained? (b) Draw the structure of the one that is most abundant.
Are (a) D-glucitol, (b) D-galactitol, and (c) D-glycerol optically active?
The genome of Daphnia pulex, a small freshwater crustacean, includes approximately 30,000 genes in 鈭200,000 kb of DNA. How does the genome compare to that of Drosophila melanogaster, another arthropod, and to that of human?
