Biomolecules Question 151
Question: The correct statement about the following disaccharide is
Options:
A) Ring (I) is pyranose with $ \alpha $ -glycosidic link
B) Ring (I) is furanose with $ \alpha $ -glycosidic link
C) Ring (II) is furanose with $ \alpha $ -glycosidic link
D) Ring (II) is pyranose with $ \beta $ -glycosidic link
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] The disaccharide with ring (I) having 6 members and hence is a pyranose and the ring (II) has 5 members and hence is a furanose, $ C_1 $ or ring (I) has an $ \alpha $ -glycosidic linkage.
