Air, like other fluids, moves from a region of higher pressure to a region of lower pressure. The flow of air into the lungs. requires that a pressure gradient between the atmosphere and the alveoli be established. This driving pressure. gradient is accomplished by the contraction of the inspiratory muscles.
Rabbit muscle phosphoglucomutase, drawn from PDB: 1JDY â. Phosphoglucomutase (EC 5.4.2.2) is an enzyme that transfers a phosphate group on an Î±-D-glucose monomer from the 1' to the 6' position in the forward direction or the 6' to the 1' position in the reverse direction.More precisely, it facilitates the interconversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate.hosphoglucomutase also acts in the opposite fashion when blood glucose levels are high. In this case, phosphoglucomutase catalyzes the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate (which is easily generated from glucose by the action of hexokinase) to glucose 1-phosphate.
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.hen it is needed for energy, glycogen is broken down and converted again to glucose. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown. For the next 8â12 hours, glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel.
