Webinar on Chemistry, Structure and Function of Carbohydrates and Proteins By Dr. lalitha Gowda

The macromolecules, Carbohydrates, Proteins and lipids are versatile macromolecules in living systems and serve crucial functions in essentially all biological processes. Much of this webinar will focus on understanding the classification, general, properties, structure and function of these macromolecules.

The webinar will provide details on mono, di, polysaccharides (cellulose, starch, glycogen) and complex carbohydrates; amino sugars, proteoglycans and glycoproteins and color reactions to identify and differentiate between them. The chemistry of amino acid, various methods of classification, essential non essential, hierarchy of protein structure, digestibility and food proteins and food enzymes will be discussed.
