Peptide linkage and Glycosidic linkage
Advertisements
Solution
| Peptide linkage | Glycosidic linkage |
| It is –CONH- a linkage that exists in proteins formed by condensation of amino acids. | It is –O–linkage. In disaccharide two monosaccharide units are joined through oxygen atom i.e. glycosidic linkage. |
