Glycogen Synthase Mechanism

The video tutorial explains the process of glycogen synthesis, focusing on the role of glycogen synthase and UDP-glucose. It describes the mechanism of chain lengthening through SN2 reactions, involving the catalytic action of glutamate. The tutorial also covers the formation of A1 to 4 linkages and the significance of alpha confirmation in glycogen structure.
