Identify glycosidic linkages for formation of chain and branches respectively in amylopectin.
Identify glycosidic linkages for formation of chain and branches respectively in amylopectin.
$\beta-1,6$ and $\alpha-1,6$
$\alpha-1,6$ and $\beta-1,4$
$\beta-1,4$ and $\alpha-1,6$
$\alpha-1,4$ and $\alpha-1,6$
Solution
The C chain is the single, central chain that carries the only reducing group of the amylopectin molecule. The linear glucopyranosyl units are connected by α-(1→4) linkages, and the branch point is connected by α-(1→6) linkages.
