when we break down glycogen do we get G6p or G1p ? i thought
we get...
Chapter 16 practice questions answers Glycogen metabolism 1. Glycogen in residues) + P; → Glyco (though 10% of the time residues) + P. → Glycogen (n-1 residues) +G6P Ich 10% of the time, glucose is produced instead of G6P, with no addition of P) Glucogen debranching enzyme: (no easy way to write the overall balanced reaction) Demoval of branches by transferring 3 monomers to an existing chain (a[14) bonds) and hydrolyzing 1 monomer at the branch (a(16) bond). Transferase and hydrolase activities (though the transferase activity is intramolecular) Glycogen phosphorylase: Glycogen (n residues) + P: → Glycogen (n-1 residues) + G1P Transferase Phosphoglucomutase: G1P G6P Isomerase 3. G6P + UTP + H2O + glycogen (n residues) 7 lycogen (n residues) → UDP + glycogen (n+1 residues) + 2P
