4. Enzyme regulation. Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is the first enzyme in the metabolic pathway for pyrimidine biosynthesis. Explain how allostery regulates ATCase through conformational switches between T and R states. Describe the subunit composition of ATCase. What stabilizes each conformational state?
