Compare alpha Glycosidic bond and beta Glycosidic bond?

A "glycosyl bond" is a generic term and refers to the linkage between the anomeric carbon of a glycosyl moiety and an atom of the aglycon part. A letter in italic placed before the term glycosyl informs about the type of atom linked to the anomeric carbon. For example, in a "N-glycosyl bond" the anomeric carbon of the sugar is linked to a nitrogen atom of the aglycon (for example, the sugar is linked to an amino group of a protein).The term "glycosidic bond" refers exclusively to the linkage between the anomeric carbon of a glycosyl moiety and an oxygen atom of a hydroxyl compound (an alcohol, another sugar, or the hydroxyl group of serine amino acid). For this reason, to write "O-glycosidic bond" is redundant since the term glycosidic is already indicating that the linkage is with an oxygen atom. Nevertheless, IUPAC accepts the term glycosidic to refer the linkage with sulphur as well. But in this case it is necessary to add the prefix thio- or the letter S (i.e., thio-glycosidic bond or S-glycosidic bond).


Is alpha the same as alphanumeric?

No! Alpha is the first letter of the Ancient Greek alphabet, and may simply refer to any letter. Alphanumeric means using both numbers and letters.


How do 2 monomers link together?

Carbohydrates is a very broard class of sugar molecules and monomers can join in many ways. 1,4- beta glycosidic bonds 1,4- alpha glycosidic bonds 1,6 glycosidic bonds 1 and 6 are refering to the carbon molecules and Beta and alpha refer to the orientation of the sugars with respect to each other. But for a simple answer they connect to each other by glycosidic bonds.


How is Alpha and Omega used in Christianity today?

Alpha and Omega are used to refer to Jesus Christ, who is referred to in the Bible as the beginning and the end; which is what alpha and omega mean, respectively.

Does linkage refer to how the acids in DNA are connected?

Linkage is called gene linkage .It refers to linking up of genes in a chromosome .It was first properly explained by T.H. Morgan . As there are thousands of genes but number of chromosomes are limited hence each chromosome contains a large number of linked genes .

What holds sugar molecules together?

quite simply, bonds. The strength of these bonds depends on the type of element or compound that forms the solid. These 'particles' you refer to are best known as 'atoms' and the atoms that form a solid are held together by these bonds.


Why is alpha and omega on the paschal candle?

In Revelation 22:13 Jesus shows himself to be the 'alpha and the omega'.The presence on the candle is to refer to him, particularly in his eternal nature, as the eternal God who became incarnate.


What is the exact molecular formula of honey?

Honey is a mixture of organic and some inorganic compounds, hence is not a pure substance and has no "one" or "exact" molecular formula. A typical honey breakdown of composition is: * Fructose: 38.5% * Glucose: 31.0% * Sucrose: 1.0% * Water: 17.0% * Other sugars: 9.0% (maltose, melezitose) * Ash: 0.17% * Other: 3.38% Fructose and glucose have the same empirical molecular formula: C6H12O6, just a different isomer of it. Sucrose is just a disaccharide of glucose and fructose with an α (alpha) 1,2 glycosidic linkage. The other compounds such as ash contain a large multitude of other compounds, making honey a very mixed batch of organic chemicals, we refer colloquially to as "honey".
