Glycogen synthase (GS) converts glucose to glycogen. It takes short polymers of glucose and converts them into long polymers one by one into a polymeric chain for storage as glycogen.
Chemical equation
Rate equation
MWC model (Monod-Wyman-Changeux model) is used to model the reaction mechanism of this enzyme.[1]. Glc6P activates GS by binding to an allosteric site of this enzyme.
