Summary
Glucan Chain Polymerization
is a
Biochemical Process
where
Glucose monomers
are enzymatically linked to form
Polysaccharide chains
, such as cellulose and glycogen, essential for structural and
Energy storage functions
in organisms. This process is catalyzed by
Specific enzymes
like glucosyltransferases, which determine the
Linkage type
and structure of the resulting glucan polymer.
