  Glycoside - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a glycoside is any molecule in which a sugar group is bonded through its anomeric carbon to another group via an O-glycosidic bond or an S-glycosidic bond; the latter are also called thioglycosides.
Glycosides play many important roles in living organisms, and numerous plant-produced glycosides are used as medications.
Many authors require in addition that the sugar be bonded to a non-sugar for the molecule to qualify as a glycoside, thus excluding the polysaccharides.

 Glycosidic bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, a glycosidic bond is a certain type of chemical bond that joins a sugar molecule to another molecule.
Specifically, a glycosidic bond is formed between the hemiacetal group of a saccharide (or a molecule derived from a saccharide) and the hydroxyl group of an alcohol.
A glycosidic bond can join two monosaccharide molecules to form a disaccharide, as for instance in the linkage of glucose and fructose to create sucrose.

The free energy associated with the glycosidic bond in maltose is 4 kcal/mol whereas the free energy associated with the glycosidic bond of sucrose is 7 kcal/mol.
The free energy associated with the glycosidic bond of sucrose is, therefore, equivalent to that of phosphorylated precursors used in intracellular synthetic pathways and is sufficient to provide 3.2 kcal/mol required to sequentially add glucose or fructose units to the growing EPS chain.
The glycosidic bond in maltose links C1 and C4 of two glucose units and the free energy associated with the hydrolysis of the bond is 4 kcal/mol.

[0056] A "glycosyl donor" is a sugar or glycosidic residue that bears an anomeric leaving group, preferably a sulfoxide, which may be activated to render the anomeric carbon susceptible to reaction with a nucleophile to displace the activated group, thereby forming a glycosidic bond.
Most preferably, Y is a single bond and X is NR.sub.1 or S, i.e., a substituted amino or thio group is attached to the C-6 position of the hexose.
