Structural basis for 2′-phosphate incorporation into glycogen by glycogen synthase

Glycogen is a glucose polymer that contains minor amounts of covalently attached phosphate. Hyperphosphorylation is deleterious to glycogen structure and can lead to Lafora disease. Recently, it was ...

Glycogen controls Caenorhabditis elegans lifespan and resistance to oxidative stress

All organisms employ similar pathways of glucose utilization and storage. Dietary carbohydrates are converted to glucose, which eventually donates its carbons to most other synthesized biomolecules.
