Abstract

IT is assumed that the molecules of amylopectin and glycogen have a ramified structure, the glucose residues being united by α-glucosidic 1,4- or 1,6-linkages, the latter representing the branching points, By β, the 'degree of ramification', we shall denote the ratio between the number of 1,6-linkages and the total number of glucose residues. For amylo pectin, β ∼0·56; for glycogen, β 0·09.
