Figure: Glycogen catabolic process (Dmel)¶
This figure illustrates the glycogen catabolic process in Drosophila melanogaster. The pathway occurs in the cytosol and involves three key enzymes: glycogen phosphorylase (Glyp, FB:FBgn0004507), amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase/4-alpha-glucanotransferase (Agl, FB:FBgn0034618), and phosphoglucomutase (Pgm1, FB:FBgn0003076). The pathway begins with glycogen (CHEBI:28087) being broken down by Glyp to produce alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (CHEBI:58601). Agl then processes this intermediate through its dual enzymatic functions, generating D-glucopyranose (CHEBI:4167). Finally, Pgm1 converts the pathway intermediates to alpha-D-glucose 6-phosphate (CHEBI:58225). Solid arrows represent direct enzymatic reactions, while dashed arrows indicate indirect connections between metabolites and enzymes.
Feedback from AI on figure:
{"feedback":"The diagram effectively captures the glycogen catabolic pathway in Drosophila melanogaster with clear visual representation of the key enzymes and metabolites involved. The use of distinct shapes and colors helps differentiate between enzymes (green rectangles) and metabolites (blue circles), making the pathway flow easy to follow. The inclusion of gene identifiers, GO terms, and CHEBI identifiers adds scientific precision while maintaining readability. The layout within the cytosol compartment logically represents the sequential nature of glycogen breakdown, and the use of solid and dashed arrows appropriately indicates direct and indirect relationships between pathway components.","necessary_changes":null,"optional_changes":null}
