(a) Interpretation:
The effect on the
Concept Introduction:
In a metabolic pathway, for molecules, the metabolic flux is the rate of turnover. The activity of enzymes plays an important role in metabolic flux. Any change in the activity of enzyme, changes the metabolic flux by same rate.
(b) Interpretation:
The direction and rate of metabolic flux between B and C should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The metabolic flux rate is calcuilated by taking difference of the rate of activity of two enzymes. For example for enzymes X and Y, metabolic flux will be:
(c) Interpretation:
The effect on the direction and metabolic flux rate and % change should be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
The metabolic flux rate is calcuilated by taking difference of the rate of activity of two enzymes. For example for enzymes X and Y, metabolic flux will be:
(d) Interpretation:
The regulatory advantage(s) of a substrate cycle in a pathway should be summarized.
