Phosphofructokinase (PFK1) is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the irreversible transfer of a phosphate from ATP to fructose -6-phosphate to form fructose-1, 6- bisphosphate.

fructose-6-phosphate + ATP --> fructose-1,6-bisphosphate + ADP

PFK1 is the key regulatory enzyme for glycolysis. When ATP levels are high in the cell, the cell no longer needs metabolic energy production to occur. In the case of these high energy levels, PFK1's activity is inhibited by allosteric regulation by ATP, which essentially closes the valve on the flow of carbohydrates through glycolysis.

Recall that allosteric regulators bind to a different site on the enzyme rather than the active (catalytic) site. ATP binds to the regulatory site and decreases PFK1 activity. ATP bound in the regulatory site acts as a modulator by lowering the affinity of PFK1 for its substrate, fructose-6-phosphate. AMP on the other hand, which is generated when the cell is in a low energy state binds to allosteric site and increases enzyme activity.

7. The enzyme PFK1 is an example of a non-regulatory enzyme or regulatory enzyme?

8. How is PFK regulated?

A. It is not regulated because it is a non-regulatory enzyme

B. allosteric enzyme regulation

C. covalent enzyme regulation

D. or proteolytic cleavage enzyme regulation?

9. What is the substrate and to which site on the enzyme does it bind? Which compounds are the positive and negative effectors?

10. In which conformational state would the enzyme be when negative inhibitors bind and in which conformational state would the enzyme be when positive inhibitors bind?

11. PFK1 is a heterotropic or homotropic regulatory enzyme?

12. Draw (or insert the picture from your course packet available on Canvas) the graph that corresponds to this reaction. Your graph should include the activity of PFK without bound effectors, with bound positive effector, and with bound negative effector. Label (or describe) each line to distinguish these along with which molecules are positive and negative effectors.

I know that this alot of questions, but it's kinda a last ditch effort. these are the last 42 definitions i have left to answer out of 500 question for my final exam study guide. so whatever help i can get is fine. No explanations needed just what each definition is explaining and thanks in advance ladies and gentlemen.
