Enzymatic polymerization of amylose with glycogen phosphorylase... 

The glycogen phosphorolysis of phosphorylase can be reverted, which makes it possible to enzymatically polymerize amylose as well as hybrid structures with amylose as outlined in the following section. 

Because of these new observations, we must conclude that the starch formulas discussed above apply to the amylopectin, whereas the corn amylose has the original Haworth formula but with a degree of polymerization of 200 to 300 instead of 25. The remaining question is the establishment of the pattern of ramification in amylopectin and in glycogen. 

The strict primer dependence of the glycogen phosphorylases makes them ideal candidates for the synthesis of hybrid structures of amylose with non-natural materials (e.g., inorganic particles and surfaces, synthetic polymers). For this, a primer functionality (maltooligosaccharide) can be coupled to a synthetic structure and subsequently elongated by enzymatic polymerization resulting in amylose blocks.
