Chapter 9, Problem 8TYU
Summary Introduction
To analyze: ATP that is considered to be an allosteric regulator of phosphofructokinase inhibits or stimulates the activity of this enzyme.
Introduction:
Phosphofructokinase is the most important regulatory enzyme in glycolysis, converting fructose-6 phosphate to fructose-1,6 bisphosphate. Its regulation is allosteric, with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acting as the allosteric regulator. This enzyme plays a key role in the energy investment step of glycolysis.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
