Biomolecules · Reducing and non-reducing disaccharides
Structures of four disaccharides are given below. Among the given disaccharides, the non-reducing sugar is :
- (1)
- (2)
- (3)
- (4)
We corrected a printing error in the original paper
Option (1): source printed “OH” on the fructose ring carbon next to the ring oxygen (C-5), which makes that carbon a hemiacetal and leaves no non-reducing option; corrected in the figure to the intended “CHOH” (sucrose, source key (1)); glyphs copied from the same drawing.
