Summary
An
Α-1,6-glycosidic Linkage
is a type of
Covalent Bond
that occurs between the
Anomeric Carbon
of one sugar and the
Sixth carbon
of another, typically found in polysaccharides like glycogen and amylopectin, where it creates
Branching points
. This branching is crucial for the
Compact storage of glucose
and for the
Rapid release of glucose units
during
Metabolic Processes
.
