Abstract

Fractals are complex structure which can be characterized in a compact form using least amount of information. The fact that nature has applied very simple rules to provide optimal space filling structures and dynamical efficiency is already known to researchers. Glycogen storage is such an example of dynamical efficiency and self-similar structure. This paper provide a model for the storage dynamics of glycogen, suggesting that the fractal structures leads to phase constancy in the growth dynamics.
