Funded Activity Summary

Explaining the differences in affinity and of carbohydrate binding of the glycogen-sensing enzyme, AMP-protein activated kinase (AMPK). This project will provide fundamental molecular knowledge of how a complex enzyme, AMPK is controlled by the major sugar molecule, glycogen. Our research will increase our understanding of its role in metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
