The Structure of Maltooctaose-Bound <i>Escherichia coli</i> Branching Enzyme Suggests a Mechanism for Donor Chain Specificity
Glycogen is the primary storage polysaccharide in bacteria and animals. It is a glucose polymer linked by α-1,4 glucose linkages and branched via α-1,6-linkages, with the latter reaction catalyzed by branching enzymes. Both the length and dispensation of these branches are critical in defining the s...
