Branching Enzymes contributes to the structure of startch in plants and glycogen in animals and bacteria by catalyzing the formation of a-1,6 brach points in the polysaccharides<ref name="Abad"/>. The polysaccharide is cleaved at the a-1,4 glucosidic linkage, yidleing a non-reducing end oligosaccharide chain and subsequent attachment to the a-1,6 position<ref name="Abad"/>. Branching of polysaccharides increased the number of non-reducing ends which makes glycogen more reactive to synthesis and digestion, alos essential for assuring its solubility in the cell (as shown in Figure 1)<ref name="Abad"/>. | Branching Enzymes contributes to the structure of startch in plants and glycogen in animals and bacteria by catalyzing the formation of a-1,6 brach points in the polysaccharides<ref name="Abad"/>.
