THE combined action of isophosphorylase and Phosphorylase on glucose-1-phosphate results in the formation of branched Polysaccharides like amylo-pectin and glycogen. Isophosphorylase is the enzyme which catalyses the formation of α-1,6-glucosidic links from glucose-1-phosphate as well as their phosphorolysis1.
