Glycosidic bonds of the form discussed above are known as O-glycosidic bonds, in reference to the glycosidic oxygen that links the glycoside to the aglycone or reducing end sugar. In analogy, one also considers S-glycosidic bonds (which form thioglycosides ), where the oxygen of the glycosidic bond is replaced with a sulfur atom.
Salicin, a glycoside related to aspirin Chemical structure of oleandrin, a cardiac glycoside. In chemistry, a glycoside / ˈ ɡ l aɪ k ə s aɪ d / is a molecule in which a sugar is bound to another functional group via a glycosidic bond.
(a) Three hydrogen bonding edges of the four nucleotides (Guanine), showing nomenclature of each edge and (b) Cis and Trans orientations of the sugar moieties of the two nucleotide residues glycosidic bonds of a base pair with respect to hydrogen bonding direction. The arrows in (b) indicate glycosidic bonds as vectors.
The different types of lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor produced in different organisms.. N-linked glycosylation is the attachment of an oligosaccharide, a carbohydrate consisting of several sugar molecules, sometimes also referred to as glycan, to a nitrogen atom (the amide nitrogen of an asparagine (Asn) residue of a protein), in a process called N-glycosylation, studied in ...
This can result in different regioselectivity depending on the acceptor resulting in products with different glycosidic linkages. One example is the Agrobacterium sp. β-glucosynthase, which forms a β-1,4-glycoside with glucose as the acceptor, but forms a β-1,3-glycoside with xylose as the acceptor.
Cytosine, thymine, and uracil are pyrimidines, hence the glycosidic bonds form between their 1 nitrogen and the 1' -OH of the deoxyribose. For both the purine and pyrimidine bases, the phosphate group forms a bond with the deoxyribose sugar through an ester bond between one of its negatively charged oxygen groups and the 5' -OH of the sugar.

The glycosidic bond can be formed between any hydroxy group on the component monosaccharide. So, even if both component sugars are the same (e.g., glucose), different bond combinations (regiochemistry) and stereochemistry ( alpha- or beta- ) result in disaccharides that are diastereoisomers with different chemical and physical properties.
Glycosylation is the reaction in which a carbohydrate (or 'glycan'), i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl acceptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate.
