1950Cori & Larner in Federation Proc. IX. 163/1 When a protein fraction, obtained from muscle, is added to phosphorylase, the entire glycogen molecule is digested. This fraction contains an enzyme for which the name amylo-1,6-glucosidase is proposed. 1976Jrnl. Ultrastruct. Res. LIV. 115 Treatment of thin sections with the enzyme, amyloglucosidase, led to the disappearance of glycogen particles. 1986M. K. Turner in C. A. Heaton Chem.
