General description
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose synthesized by animal cells for energy storage and release. It is constructed of predominantly α1→4 glycosidic bonds with branches created through α1→6 glycosidic bonds.
Application
Glycogen, a starch analogue, is added to polyacrylamide gels for starch phosphorylase activity aβays were it acts as a substrate for starch phosphorylase degradation.
