Mechanistic insights into glycosidic bond activation in cellulose pyrolysis were obtained via first-principles density functional theory calculations that explain the peculiar similarity in kinetics for different stereochemical glycosidic bonds (beta vs alpha) and establish the role of the three-dimensional ...
If the anomeric carbon of the sugar makes the link with the nitrogen atom of an amine, the bond is referred to as an N-glycosidic bond. The sucrose molecule is the only one of the common disaccharides that have an alpha-1,beta-2-glycosidic established between carbon 1 in glucose and ...
