Question
Glycogen synthase creates ____ between molecules of glucose.
Answer
Glycogen synthase creates α-1,4 glycosidic bonds between molecules of glucose.
Note: Glycogen synthase (UDP-glucose-glycogen glucosyltransferase) is a key enzyme in glycogenesis, the conversion of glucose into glycogen. It is a glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4. 1.11) that catalyses the reaction of UDP-glucose and (1,4-α-D-glucosyl)n to yield UDP and (1,4-α-D-glucosyl)n+1
