Stochastic modelling of a three-dimensional glycogen granule synthesis and impact of the branching enzyme
Fig 10
Two schematic branched structures with different A:B ratios.
For a “Haworth”-like structure, branching reactions tend to occur on A chains, leading to a low A:B ratio, while for a “Staudinger”-like structure, branching on B chains is favoured, leading to a high A:B ratio.
