carbohydrates
typical: oxygen in ring structure and hydroxyl groups
dimerization > elimination of water
mono- and disaccharides are sweet
disaccharides do not consist of 2 glucose for instance, but 2 glucose-residues
glucuronic acid: glucose where 6th carbon > acid group
,> ketone
,furanose: 5 membered ring
pyranose: 6 membered ring
hexose: 6 C-atoms
pentose: 5 C-atoms
alpha: trans
beta: cis
, reducing end: anomeric carbon with free OH-group
N-glycoside; not a monosaccharide
O-glycoside; not a monosaccharide
