Chapter 8, Problem 11RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The allosteric regulation of glycolytic enzymes.
Introduction:
The breakdown (degradation) of glucose is termed as glycolysis. Several enzymes are involved in this pathway, which is regulated allosterically. Allosteric regulation involves the binding of the molecule to the enzyme other than at the active site.
