Question:medium

A molecule of amylopectin contains 1500 glucose residues and is branched after every 30 residues. How many reducing ends are there?

Show Hint

For any linear or branched polysaccharide chain: Reducing Ends = 1; Non-reducing Ends = Number of branches + 1. Calculation: 1500/30 = 50 branches, so 51 non-reducing ends but only 1 reducing end!
