Question

The image below shows a(n) glycosidic bond. 
A) "$\alpha$-1,4-" 
B) "$\beta$-1,4-" 
C) "$\alpha$-1,6-" 
D) "$\beta$-1,6-"

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The glycosidic bond is between the "S" and "F1F1F1" molecules, indicating that it is a bond between a sugar and a non-sugar molecule. The orientation of the bond is "1,4-", indicating that it is between the first carbon of the "F1F1F1" molecule and the fourth carbon of the "S" molecule. The "" indicates that the bond is in a beta configuration. Therefore, the correct choice is B: "F1F1F1S1F1F1F10-1,4-".
