Polysaccharides I

Structure and Function

  • Chapter
Essentials of Carbohydrate Chemistry

Part of the book series: Springer Advanced Texts in Chemistry ((SATC))

Abstract

Polysaccharides, as the name implies, are composed of many monosaccharide units that are joined one to the other by an acetal linkage to give a long chain The acetal linkage between the monosaccharide units is formed by the reaction of the hemiacetal hydroxyl group of one unit with an alcohol group of another unit, splitting out water to give a glycosidic bond. The bond can have either the a-or the 13-configuration and can be to any one of the alcohol groups at C-2, C-3, C-4, or C-6 of, for example, D-glucose (see, Fig 6.1). The chain can be either linear or branched. The branches can be single monosaccharide units, chains of two or more monosaccharide units of uniform number, or chains of a variable number of monosaccharide units.
