Glycogen, a hyperbranched polymer of glucose, plays a central role as an energy reserve across diverse organisms. In Escherichia coli, its biosynthesis is linked not only to energy storage but also to ...

Glycogen is a glucose polymer that contains minor amounts of covalently attached phosphate. Hyperphosphorylation is deleterious to glycogen structure and can lead to Lafora disease. Recently, it was ...

These three polysaccharides—starch, glycogen, and cellulose—are all built from glucose monomers, but they serve different ...

Estimates suggest that glycogen storage diseases (GSD) affect from around one person in 40,000 to less than one person in 1,000,000, making them “ultra-rare” diseases. This results in diluted research ...

When people think of "muscle building," their first thought is protein. And while protein is the raw material for muscle tissue, it is not the only thing. If you're ignoring carbs, you are probably ...
