Which factor is NOT a part of determining the complete structure of an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide?
A) determination of linear sequence
B) determination of lectin partners
C) determination of branching positions
D) determination of glycosidic linkages
E) determination of monosaccharide configuration

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While lectin partners may be important for studying the biological roles of a carbohydrate, they are not necessary for determining the complete structure of the oligosaccharide or polysaccharide itself. The other factors listed are all crucial for determining the complete structure, including the linear sequence of monosaccharides, the positions of branching, the types of glycosidic linkages, and the configuration of each monosaccharide.
