Flat ring (Haworth projection) just gives the relative positions of the H and OH at each carbon, one is “above” the other. But it does not tell the positions of the groups relative to the plane of the ring (up, down or out)
Relationship between Haworth (flat ring) depiction and chair-form
5Polymers are built by removing a molecule of water
between them, known as dehydration, or condensation.
R-OH + HO-R
→ R-O-R + HOHThis process does not happen by itself
(It is NOT like glucose ring formation)
Rather, like virtually all of the reactions in a cell,
it requires the aid of a CATALYST
Dimer formation
6AND: Polymers are broken down by the reverse process, ADDING a molecule of water between them, known as
DIMER HYDROLYSIS
R-O-R + HOH→ R-OH + HO-R
This process does not happen by itself
Rather, like virtually all of the reaction in a cell, it requires the aid of a CATALYST

Glycosidic bondAnomeric carbon is always one partner
Beta conformation is now locked in here But not here
C4 = equatorial out (always in glucose)
C1 = equatorial out (in beta glucose)
The two glucose molecules are connected in a ~straight line in cellobose

One is forced to draw strange “elbows” when depicting disaccharides using theHaworth projections. Such elbows do not exist in reality.
(here the C1 OH is “above” and the C4 OH is “below”Whereas we just saw in actuality that they are both equatorial in beta glucose)
Equatorial bond is above the H
Equatorial bond is below the H

More sugars:

Galactose C6H12O6 (different arrangement of OH’s and H’s)
Deoxyribose C5H10O4 (like ribose but C2’s OH substituted by an H)
More disaccharides
Lactose = b-1-glucose to C4 of galactose (milk sugar)
Sucrose = b-2-fructose to C1- a-1-glucose (table sugar, cane sugar)

“Polypeptides” vs. “proteins”
• Polypeptide = amino acids connected in a linear chain (polymer)
• Protein = a polypeptide or several associated polypeptides (discussed later)
• Often used synonymously
• Peptide (as opposed to polypeptide) is smaller, even 2 AAs (dipeptide)
