Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The difference between the phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity in P. Furiosus and other animals should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme which converts fructose-1-phopshate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. It acts as a regulatory enzyme in the glycolysis process. High ATP concentration inside the cell inhibits the activity of PFK.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Effect of ATP and AMP on ADP should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme which converts fructose-1-phopshate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. It acts as a regulatory enzyme in the glycolysis process. High ATP concentration inside the cell inhibits the activity of PFK.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
