Question

In glycogen molecule, successive glucose units joint and branches are linked by which bonds? GUYS PLEASE GIVE ME THE REFERENCE!!! BIOMOLECULES IS GETTING TOUGH

Answer 1

Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose. Glucose residues are linked linearly by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds (glycosidic bonds formed between C-1 of one glucose with the C-4 of the next). After every 10-14 units, a side chain branch occurs that attach at C-6 of a glucose unit by α-1,6 glycosidic linkages
