Pentasaccharides
Pentasaccharides (outdated fivefold sugar ) are organic-chemical compounds from the group of carbohydrates . Pentasaccharides are formally formed from five monosaccharide units ( simple sugar ) by splitting off water (four equivalents of water). The monosaccharide units are covalently linked in the pentasaccharide via four glycosidic bonds . The pentasaccharides belong to the group of oligosaccharides .
If an anomeric carbon atom of an aldose or an acyloin is at the end, it is also a reducing sugar .
