Abstract

Phosphorylation of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase in vivo in response to hormones was investigated.Methods were developed to purify the synthase without altering its kinetic parameters, thereby indicating constancy of the synthase phosphorylation state.The enzyme from control rabbits had an activity ratio (-glucose-6-P/+glucose-6-P) of 0.24, K, for glucose-6-
