Why does maltose have both alpha and beta anomers?

Biology

BabaBlast [244]3 years ago

Answer:

Maltose is a disaccharide sugar made up of two units of glucose.

In cyclic structure, the glucose exists in two anomeric forms; alpha and beta.

These glucose units can either joined by α (1→4) glycosidic bond or by β (1→4) glycosidic bond.

Thus, the maltose exists in two anomeric form alpha and beta.

Maltose is a disaccharide that made of 2 glucose units. Each glucose unit can happen as alpha or beta. So, "α" or "β" is grounded on the relation between the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon and the furthest chiral center in the ring. The α anomer is the one in which these two locations have the same configuration; they are opposite in the β anomer.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid Unlike Archaea and eukaryotes, bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, comprised of sugars and amino acids, and many have a polysaccharide capsule (Figure 1).
