Chemical Nature of Glycogen
ByDeepak Rajput November 20, 2023November 20, 2023

1. Composition Monomers: Glycogen is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers. Linkages: It consists of α-D-glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds (linear chains) and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds (branch points). 2. Structure Linear Chains: The main structure of glycogen consists of linear chains of glucose molecules linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Branching: Branch points occur due to α-1,6-glycosidic…

Chemical Nature of Starch
ByDeepak Rajput November 20, 2023November 20, 2023

1. Composition Monomers: Starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers. Types: It consists of two glucose polymers: amylose and amylopectin. 2. Amylose Structure: Amylose is a linear chain of α-D-glucose molecules linked by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Properties: It forms a helical structure due to the arrangement of glucose units. Solubility: It is less soluble in…
