(A) The initiation of glycogen synthesis is the attachment of the first glucose tothe OH group of a tyrosine on a protein named glycogenin.
(B) A chain of about seven c(1→4) linked glucose molecules are typicallyformed by glycogenin.
(C) Glycogen synthase uses UDP-glucose as a substrate and transfers theglucosyl residue onto the non-reducing end of the glycogen chain.
(D) Branches of glycogen are made by an amylo-transglycosylase that catalyzesthe transfer of a string of seven a(1→4) linked glucosyl units of a glycogenchain to the C-2 position on a glucose of the same or a neighboring glycogenchain.

答案(B)是問 glycogenin 可以形成約七個葡萄醣的鏈。考生提出的證據是指後續如要增加醣鏈的長度維持原來的答案(D)時,需要原有多少個醣的醣鏈,跟題目的原意不同。原來答案沒有問題(考生可參考如 Wikipedia 的glycogenin)。
