Glycogenolysis

Glycogenolysis

Glycogen is the major storage form of carbohydrate in animals similar to starch in plants. It is a homopolymer made up of repeated units of α- D glucose and each molecule is linked to another by 1→4 glycosidic bond which is a link connecting the 1st C atom of the active glucose residue to the 6th C atom of the approaching glucose molecule. Once there is a chain consisting of 8 to 10 glycosidic residues in the glycogen fragment, branching …Read more
