Isomers are compounds with thesame molecular formula butdifferent chemical structures.
Isomers do not necessarily share similarproperties, unless they also have thesame functional groups.
There are 2 main forms of Isomerism:Structural Isomerism and Stereoisomerism.

In structural isomers, sometimes referredto as constitutional isomers, the atomsand functional groups are joined
together in different ways. Differ in the order in which the atoms are
connected.
Structural isomers havedifferent IUPAC names and may or maynot belong to the same functionalgroup.

Stereoisomers are isomericmolecules that have the samemolecular formula and sequence of
bonded atoms (constitution), but thatdiffer only in the three-dimensionalorientations of their atoms in space.
Number of possible isomers depends on(n), number of asymmetric carbonatoms, = 2.

Agriculturea good inducer for defense mechanisms in plants. It wasrecently tested as a fertilizer that can help plants develophealthy immune responses, and have a much better yield andlife expectancy. Chitosan is derived from chitin.
Industrialused as an additive to thicken and stabilize foods andpharmaceuticals. It also acts as a binder in dyes, fabrics, andadhesives. Industrial separation membranes and ion-
exchange resins can be made from chitin. Processes to sizeand strengthen paper employ chitin
MedicineChitin's properties as a flexible and strong material make itfavorable as surgical thread. Its biodegradibility means itwears away with time as the wound heals. Moreover, chitinhas some unusual properties that accelerate healing ofwounds in humans.
Occupations associated with high environmental chitin levels,such as shellfish processors, are prone to high incidences ofasthma. Recent studies have suggested that chitin may play arole in a possible pathway in human allergic disease.

Modulate physiochemical properties, egsolubility, viscosity, charge, conformation,denaturation, and binding sites for variousmolecules, bacteria, viruses, and someparasites
Protect against proteolysis, from inside andoutside of cell
Affect proteolytic processing of precursorproteins to smaller products
Are involved in biologic activity, eg, of hCG Affect insertion into membranes, intracellular
migration, sorting and secretion May affect sites of metastases selected by

The biosynthesis of N-linked glycoproteins 2 stages:
› Assembly of Dol-P-P-oligosaccharide and transfer ofoligosaccharide
›
Processing of the oligosaccharide chain Is important since the most readily accessible
glycoproteins (eg. Plasma proteins) mainly belongto this group
The process itself has physiologic significance›

Mature mucins are composed of two distinct regions:
The amino- and carboxy-terminal regions are very lightlyglycosylated, but rich in cysteines. The cysteine residuesparticipate in establishing disulfide linkages within andamong mucin monomers
A large central region formed of multiple tandem repeats of
10 to 80 residue sequences in which up to half of the aminoacids are serine or threonine. This area becomes saturatedwith hundreds of O-linked oligosaccharides. N-linkedoligosaccharides are also found on mucins, but in lessabundance than O-linked sugars

Is a generic term for the N- or O-substituted derivatives ofneuraminic acid, a monosaccharide with a nine-carbonbackbone
A constituent of both glycoproteins and gangliosides
Found widely distributed in animal tissues and to a lesser
extent in other species such as plants and bacteria Metastatic cancer cells often express a high density of
sialic acid-rich glycoproteins. This helps these late-stagecancer cells enter the blood stream. Sialic acid-richregions contribute to creating a negative charge on the
cells' surface. Since water is a polar molecule with partialpositive charges on both hydrogen atoms, it is attractedto cell surfaces and membranes. This also contributes tocellular fluid uptake.
