ATP:
A. inhibits activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) allosterically
B. activates activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) allosterically
C. inhibits activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) hormonally
D. activates activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) hormonally
E. does not alter phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is A. inhibits activity of phosphofructokinase (PFK) allosterically . See the explanation below, please.

Explanation:

ATP inhibits the enzyme phosphofructokinase 1, regulating it allosterically. At a higher concentration of ATP, it binds to a different enzyme site from the active site by inhibiting it and lowering the affinity for its substrate (fructose 6-phosphate)
