Figure 1. Glycogen structure.

Figure 1

(A) Polymerizing α-1,4-glycosidic linkages and a branching α-1,6-glycosidic linkage are shown. (B) The tiered model for glycogen organization in which inner B-chains on average carry two branches and the outer A-chains are unbranched. The black circle denotes glycogenin.
