What are glycosidic linkages? In which type of biomolecules are they present?
Glycosidic linkage is very common in saccharides; it occurs when the loss of water molecule happens due to an oxide linkage formed between two molecules of monosaccharides. This type of joining of two monosaccharides via an oxygen atom is termed as glycosidic linkage. The linkage is mostly observed in trisaccharides, polysaccharides, disaccharides, etc.
