Question
Draw the structure of a disaccharide formed from two galactose units joined by a 1$\rightarrow$4-$\beta$-glycosidic linkage.
Step 1
Galactose is a monosaccharide sugar, which means it is a simple sugar that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar. It is an aldohexose, which means it contains six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group. The structure of galactose is similar to that of glucose, Show more…
