Concept explainers
a.
Interpretation: The structural formulas for the repeating disaccharides unit of following polysaccharide alginic acid should be determined:
Concept introduction: Within biochemistry, a conformational change is a change within the macromolecule’s shape, often induced through the environmental variables. It might alter its shape in reply to the alteration in its environment or the other variables. Each probable shape is recognized as conformation and the transition amid them is known as conformational change.
b.
Interpretation: The structural formula for the repeating disaccharides should be determined for the polysaccharide pectic acid.
