1 Explain how the allosteric regulation of phosphofructokina

1. Explain how the allosteric regulation of phosphofructokinase works.

2. Define substrate level phosphorylation and identify the source of the energy involved.

Solution

Allosteric regulation of phophofructokinase works in the following way:

2.Substarte level phosphorylation is defined as a metabolic reaction that takes place in the cytoplasm during the process of glycolysis and in the mitochondrial matrix during the process of Kreb\'s cycle that results in the transfer of a phosphoryl group to ADP or GDP to form ATPor GTP respectively.Removal of the phosphate group from a phosphorylated compound is the source of the energy involved.
