Crystal structure of glycogen debranching enzyme and insights into its catalysis and disease-causing mutations

Debranching of glycogen is an important step in its use as an energy source. Here, the authors describe the crystal structures of glycogen debranching enzyme alone and in complex with oligosaccharides and provide molecular insights into the function, and into associated diseases.
