Biochemistry | Carbohydrates & GAGs
đ In this episode of PodBites, Naem and Samhar break down carbohydrates and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) from the ground up, turning one of biochemâs most overwhelming topics into clear & connected concepts!
đď¸ Tune in to explore:
â˘â  â Core functions of carbohydrates beyond energy
â˘â  â Monosaccharides, isomers, epimers, and anomers (Îą vs β)
â˘â  â Reducing sugars, Benedictâs test, AGEs, and HbA1c
â˘â  â Oligosaccharides and polysaccharides (amylose, amylopectin, glycogen)
â˘â  â GAG structure, function, and hydration mechanics
â˘â  â Key GAG types: hyaluronan, chondroitin sulfate, heparin, and more
â˘â  â Proteoglycans, lysosomal degradation, and MPS disorders
â˘â  â High-yield conditions: Hurler vs Hunter syndrome, I-cell disease
đ A clear, exam-focused walkthrough that turns carbs and GAGs from memorization chaos into something you can finally reason through.
