Our Goal from this blog as mentioned in its name is to explain concepts related to related to medicine including Anatomy, Biochemistry, Community of medicine, Family of Medicine, Medical Research, Pathology, Physiology, Microbiology and others. The illustration will be obvious to everyone even who are not doctors. By this blog, we hope we will benefit everyone with our information and if you want to know anything about medicine, just leave comment and we will reply you as we can.

Glycosaminoglycans, Proteoglycans & Glycoprotein
Hi, after long time Today, we will explain Glycosaminoglycans, Proteoglycans and Glycoprotein but before we start, we will make a quick revision for basics of carbohydrates. Revision: Carbohydrates have general formula (CH2O)n , where n ≥ 3. They are classified into monosaccharides (simple sugar such as glucose), disaccharides and polysaccharides. They can also be classified into aldoses (-CHO) and ketoses (-CO) where: Enantiomers are special type of isomerism is found in the pairs of structures that are mirror images of each othe r where the two members of the pair are designated as a D- and an L-sugar. In the D isomeric form, the –OH group on the asymmetric carbon (a carbon linked to four different atoms or groups) farthest from the carbonyl carbon is on the right, whereas in the L-isomer, it is on the left . Cyclization: You can see anomeric carbon in the image (referred by arrow). Alpha anomer where OH on anomeric carbon is trans to
