Chemistry - Biomolecules Question with Solution | TestHub

Maltose is a disaccharide composed of two $\alpha$-D-glucose units.

The two glucose units are linked together by an $\alpha$-1,4-glycosidic bond, which is formed between the C-1 of the first $\alpha$-D-glucose molecule and the C-4 of the second $\alpha$-D-glucose molecule.

Thus, the glycosidic bond present in maltose is $\alpha$-1, 4.

Answer: $\alpha \text{-}1,4$
