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.

Preparation Note

Prepared by a modification of the procedure of Bell, et al., Biochem. J., 28, 882 (1934).
