{"id":783,"count":2,"description":"In chemistry, a glycoside is a molecule in which a sugar is bound to another functional group via a glycosidic bond. Glycosides play numerous important roles in living organisms. Many plants store chemicals in the form of inactive glycosides. In formal terms, a glycoside is any molecule in which a sugar group is bonded through its anomeric carbon to another group via a glycosidic bond. Glycosides can be linked by an O- (an O-glycoside), N- (a glycosylamine), S-(a thioglycoside), or C- (a C-glycoside) glycosidic bond. According to the IUPAC, the name \"C-glycoside\" is a misnomer; the preferred term is \"C-glycosyl compound\".[3] The given definition is the one used by IUPAC, which recommends the Haworth projection to correctly assign stereochemical configurations.","link":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/topic\/glycoside\/","name":"Glycoside","slug":"glycoside","taxonomy":"topic","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/topic"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq?topic=783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
