Identify glycosidic linkage present in maltose.

Options

  1. A-1, 2
  2. B-2, 1
  3. C-1, 3
  4. D-1,4

Correct answer

D. -1,4

Step-by-step solution

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two -D-glucose units. The glycosidic linkage is formed between the C-1 of one -D-glucose unit and the C-4 of the other -D-glucose unit. Thus, the glycosidic linkage present in maltose is -1,4. Answer: -1,4
