Glycogen is a chain of glucose subunits held together by a 1g4 glycosidic bonds, very much like starch (a-amylose). In contrast to starch, which is a single linear chain of glucose, glycogen is a branched structure. At the branch points, subunits are joined by a 1g6 glycosidic bonds. Branches occur every 8-10 residues.
