Module 4 Lesson 2: Carbohydrate Cyclization, Study notes of Biochemistry

Carbohydrate cyclization refers to the process by which linear monosaccharides (simple sugars) form ring structures in aqueous solutions. This occurs when the carbonyl group (an aldehyde or ketone) reacts with a hydroxyl group on the same molecule, forming a hemiacetal (in aldoses) or hemiketal (in ketoses). The reaction creates a new chiral center at the anomeric carbon, leading to the formation of two possible isomers called α (alpha) and β (beta) anomers. Cyclization typically results in five-membered (furanose) or six-membered (pyranose) rings, depending on the carbon atoms involved. This ring formation is reversible and plays a key role in carbohydrate structure and function.
