And this is what a single maltose disaccharide actually looks like. So, a maltose disaccharide consists of an alpha D glucose in its cyclic form, bound to another alpha D glucose, also in its cyclic form. And the binding takes place between carbon number one of the first glucose and carbon number four of the second glucose. Now, both of these molecules have the alpha an American figureation, and more specifically, because carbon number one of this first glucose have the alpha and American figureation. So this oxygen basically points in the opposite direction downward, with respect to where this group points upward. Then this special type of Oglyacidic bond in maltose is called the alpha glycocitic linkage, or glycocitic bond.
