Disaccharide Nomenclature Made Easy - Biochemistry

Having difficulty understanding how Disaccharides are named? You are not alone! This video discusses the six simple rules in understanding Disaccharide nomenclature and you will understand the process in no time!

This lecture is divided into the following parts:

00:00 - Introduction
01:31 - What is a Disaccharide
01:54 - Formation of Glycosidic Bond Between Two Monosaccharides
02:43 - Requirements for Naming Disaccharides
Six Simple Rules For Naming Disaccharides:
05:23 - Rule #1 - The non-reducing end defines the first sugar
06:28 - Rule #2 - Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the 1st sugar (α, β)
07:46 - Rule #3 - Naming the first monosaccharide
08:31 - Rule #4 - Carbon atoms which are linked together, 1st sugar then 2nd sugar
09:24 - Rule #5 - Configuration of the anomeric carbon of the second sugar (α, β)
10:11 - Rule #6 - Naming the second monosaccharide
10:50 - Naming Disaccharides that are Reducing Sugars ( 3 examples)
17:35 - Naming Disaccharides that are Non-Reducing Sugars (2 examples)
