- Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention.
