Draw a Haworth projection for each compound using the structures in Figures 28.4 and 28.5.

a. Identify the glycosidic linkage in disaccharide C, classify the glycosidic bond as , and use numbers to designate its location.
b. Identify the lettered compounds in the following reaction.

(a) Why can’t two purine bases (A and G) form a base pair and hydrogen bond to each other on two strands of DNA in the double helix? (b) Why is hydrogen bonding between guanine and cytosine more favorable than hydrogen bonding between guanine and thymine?
Deduce the structure of the disaccharide maltose from the following data.
[1]Hydrolysis yields D-glucose exclusively.
[2] Isomaltose is cleaved with -glycosidase enzymes.
[3] Isomaltose is a reducing sugar.
[4]Methylation with excess and then hydrolysis with forms two products:

(Both anomers are present.)

(a.)
(b.)
(c.)
(d.)
