Even though both of these sugars have β(1→4) glycosidic bonds, lactose is the only one of the two that is catalytically hydrolyzed by lactase. Lactase distingishes between the two because of the difference in the one stereogenic center in the pyranosyl unit mentioned above. | Even though both of these sugars have β(1→4) glycosidic bonds, lactose is the only one of the two that is catalytically hydrolyzed by lactase.
