How to pronounce“glycosidic”in English

The linkage here is an alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond, which I like to show with these curved lines.

And we put this information together to get a beta-1,4-glycosidic bond.

Now if we take maltose and add hundreds more alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds with more D-glucose, we make the polysaccharide amylose.

The other part of starch is amylopectin, which has some alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds sprinkled in.
