The concentration of glucose-1-phosphate when the reaction is at equilibrium. Introduction: Glycogen phosphorylase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycogen to produce glucose-1-phosphate. This reaction shortens the glycogen molecule and it is the rate limiting step in the glycogen degradation. Glycogen ( n ) + P i → Glycogen ( n − 1 ) + glucose − 1 − phosphate
