Definition
A compound consisting of a sugar combined with a non-carbohydrate group (called an aglycone), found in plants and organisms.
Etymology
From 'hetero-' (different) + '-side' (from Greek 'sid-' relating to sugars, from German 'Glykosid'). Coined in biochemistry to distinguish these from homosides, where both parts are carbohydrates.
Kelly Says
Heterosides power many medicines—digitalis (a heart drug from foxgloves) is a heteroside, meaning plants literally wrap their medicine in sugar to help living things absorb it!
