The bond formed between these two monosaccharide molecules is called a glycosidic bond [1].
Some common examples of monosaccharides are:
- Sucrose (made up of the monosaccarides glucose and fructose)
- Lactose (made up of the monosaccarides galactose and glucose)
- Maltose (made up of two glucose monosaccarides)
In lactose and maltose, an alpha 1,4-glycosidic bond is formed between the two monosaccharides, resulting from the linkage of the alpha-anomeric form of C-1 on one sugar and the hydroxyl oxygen on the C-4 of the other sugar.[2]
