|
|
Term
| 2 variables in making glycosidic bonds |
|
Definition
• location of the glycosidic bond can vary depending on which two hydroxyl groups interact (1,4 glycosidic bonds vs. 1,6 glycosidic bonds)
• orientation of the glycosidic bond (α vs. β glycosidic bonds) |
|
|
Term
| glycosidic bonds are analogous to _____ and _____ |
|
Definition
• peptide bonds that hold proteins together and phosphodiester bonds that connect nucleotides in nucleic acids
• important difference: peptide and phosphodiester bonds always form at the same location in their monomers. But because glycosidic linkages form between hydroxyl groups, and because every monosaccharide contains at least two hydroxyl groups, the location and geometry of glycosidic linkages can vary widely among polysaccharides |
