Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An α-1,6-glycosidic linkage is typically found at a branch point in glycogen or amylopectin, as it allows for branching to occur between the linear chains of glucose molecules connected by α-1,4-glycosidic linkages. This branching structure is important for the efficient storage and release of glucose during energy metabolism.
