How to understand the chair form of glucose

Generally for us it is easier to understand the structure in 2D. But if we have to know about the configuration (arrangement of substituents)  of a molecule in 3D which is already represented on paper in 2D then we have to visualize that molecule in mind in 3D . This visualization helps to understand the correct structure of molecule. So let's go forward for the same.
                     

     Glucose which has the molecular formula= C6H12O6 . It is aldohexose sugar which contains an aldehyde and 5 -OH  groups attached to 5 different carbon.Its linear structure is given below                           
                                        
                                                   
D-Glucose
Generally glucose does not exist in linear form ,it exist in cyclic form so to convert into cyclic form we have to follow following steps
1- Assign numbers to each carbon according to PRIORITY 
2 Rotate it in 90° clockwise direction
          
3 make cyclic bond with CHO group  to carbon 5 and at carbon 1 new -H and -OH bond is formed.       Here remember that while making bond with C1 to oxygen of C5 , new H and OH bond at C1 carbon are formed . If we put OH downward then it is alpha-D glucose otherwise it is beta-D glucose.                                                                 
alpha-D glucose
                  

4 Stretch the above cyclic structure in a way as bath tub by making base as 2,3 carbon
   and carbon1 and carbon4 in upward direction

5 Now assign H and OH groups to each carbon as same(if H is obove then put in upward, if H is below then put in downward, similarly for OH) as above structure
6. completing this we get HAWORTH STRUCTURE
Upto this we get 2D Haworth structure of 𝛃-D glucose



Conversion of Haworth to chair form:-

1. Stretch C1 downward and C4 upward (this can be reversed C1 upward and C4 downward both give correct structure) but here remember only this way.

2 now assign H and OH groups to each carbon

3 This is the final chair form of alpha D-glucose

6+2+2 and 3+3+2+2 Trick to remember 20 amino acids

Let us visualise the given below classification on the basis of 6+2+2 and 3+3+2+2 rule ALIPHATIC GROUP 1. GLYCINE :- simplest amino acid 2. ALANINE :- methyl group attached to alpha carbon of GLYCINE. 3. VALINE :-  V for valine have flipped 'V' on alanine. 4. LEUCINE :- Extra carbon attached to VALINE 5. ISOLEUCINE :- isomer of leucine as name suggest 'iso'+'leucine' = isomer of leucine. 6. PROLINE:- follow given step to remember structure of proline draw a five membered ring replace one carbon by nitrogen atom assign COOH group adjacent to nitrogen                   And this is the final structure of PROLINE FROM NOW MOST OF THE AMINO ACIDS ARE THE DERIVATIVES OF ALANINE ACIDIC (2) 1. Aspartic acid :-  -COOH group attached to ALANINE 2. Glutamic acid :- Extra carbon attached to ASPARTIC ACID as similar to valine and leucine

Cause of Chemical shift and its measurement in NMR

Upto now we have learnt some basic concepts behind NMR method.  (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) Now we will discuss how this NMR method helps in elucidation of molecular structure.  We also know that this method tells about the environment around  an atom in a molecule. Let us take a example of ethanol, In a same external magnetic field all the nuclei of hydrogen atom in ethanol must have to be precessed with equal precessional frequency but in real this is not happened. And this become a boon for NMR to detect difference between those hydrogen atoms positions in a molecule. Why all nucleus of a same atom do not precess with same frequency? The solution is that precession of a proton is depend on the external magnetic field , but inspite of same external magnetic field this difference is caused due to the shielding of valence electron around the nucleus in an atom.  Electron being a charge particle when moves around a nucleus creates its own magnetic which become a
