Capitolo 17, Problema 12
In the genetic disease uridine monophosphate synthase deficiency, symptoms include anemia, cardiac malformations, and infections. Draw the condensed structural formula for uridine monophosphate.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the structure of uridine monophosphate (UMP): UMP is a nucleotide composed of three main components: a uracil base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon of the ribose.
Start with the uracil base: Uracil is a pyrimidine base with the molecular formula C₄H₄N₂O₂. It has a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms and two keto groups at positions 2 and 4.
Attach the ribose sugar to the uracil base: The ribose sugar is a five-carbon sugar (C₅H₁₀O₅). In UMP, the ribose is in its β-furanose form, and it is connected to the uracil base via a β-N-glycosidic bond at the 1' carbon of the ribose and the nitrogen at position 1 of the uracil.
Add the phosphate group: The phosphate group (PO₄³⁻) is attached to the 5' carbon of the ribose sugar. This forms the monophosphate part of uridine monophosphate.
Combine all components into a condensed structural formula: Write the condensed structural formula by combining the uracil base, ribose sugar, and phosphate group in their proper connectivity. For example, the uracil base can be represented as part of the structure, the ribose as a sugar ring, and the phosphate group as -OPO₃²⁻ attached to the 5' carbon.

Condensed Structural Formula
A condensed structural formula is a simplified representation of a chemical compound that shows the arrangement of atoms without depicting all the bonds explicitly. It provides a clear view of the molecular structure, making it easier to visualize how atoms are connected, which is essential for understanding the biochemical properties of UMP.
