Chapter 22, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction

To calculate:

The number of reducing ends and non-reducing ends in given cases.

Introduction:

Glycogen is composed of glucose linked via alpha (1-4) linkages and branches occurring through alpha (1-6) linkages. In glycogen, the free C-1 end on glucose end of the molecule is called a reducing end and all the other ends are non-reducing ends.

  Biochemistry, Chapter 22, Problem 7P

Black line indicate the glycogen chain and red dot indicates the glucose monomers.

Therefore, regardless of the number of residues in the glycogen chain, there is only one reducing end for a glycogen chain. All other ends are non-reducing.

Why the 2nd choice is correct?
a) What are the differences between the Direct & Indirect Immunofluorescence Assays? (0.5 mark) b) What are the advantages of the Indirect Immunofluorescence Assays? (0.5 mark) c) A Super-Resolution Imaging Technique was developed in 2018 using imidazole, a His-tag ligand conjugated with a fluorophore to report the presence of a recombinant His-tag protein target, (Sci Rep, 2018, 8:5507). How does this technique improve the image quality? (2 marks)
