Amylopectin is composed of
Options
- Aα -D-glucose with C 1 — C 4 and C 1 — C 6 linkage
- Bα -D-glucose with C 1 — C 4 and C 2 — C 6 linkage
- Cβ -D-glucose with C 1 — C 4 and C 2 — C 6 linkage
- Dβ -D-glucose with C 1 — C 4 and C 1 — C 6 linkage
Correct answer
A. α -D-glucose with C 1 — C 4 and C 1 — C 6 linkage
Step-by-step solution
Amylopectin is a homopolymer of α D-glucose having C 1 — C 4 β -glycocidic linkage (for linear chain formation) and C 1 — C 6 linkage (for branch chain formation).
