Usage examples
  • ... the same macromolecule or one that differs from the original macromolecule only with respect to changes in the molecular structure such as: ... polysaccharide substances having identical saccharide repeating units, even if the number of units varies and even if there are post-polymerisation modifications (including conjugation) ...
  • Disaccharides include lactose, maltose, and sucrose. Upon hydrolysis, a disaccharide molecule yields two monosaccharide molecules. Most disaccharides have the general formula Cn(H2O)n-1, with n larger than 5. Polysaccharides include such substances as cellulose, dextrin, glycogen, and starch; they are polymeric compounds made up of the simple sugars and can be hydrolyzed to yield simple sugars. The disaccharides are sometimes grouped with the simpler polysaccharides (usually those made up of three or four simple sugar units) to form a class of carbohydrates called the oligosaccharides.
