Phosphofructokinase Lab Report
A few stages in glycolysis are controlled, yet the most vital control point is the third step of the pathway, which is catalysed by a compound called phosphofructokinase (PFK). This response is the main conferred step, making PFK a focal focus for control of the glycolysis pathway as a whole. PFK is directed by ATP, an ADP subordinate called AMP, and citrate, and in addition some other molecules. ATP is a negative controller of PFK, which bodes well: if there is as of now a lot of ATP in the phone, glycolysis does not have to make more. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP) is a positive controller of PFK. At the point when a cell is low on ATP, it will begin crushing more ATP out of ADP atoms by changing over them to ATP and AMP. Elevated amounts of AMP imply that the cell is famished for vitality, and that glycolysis must run rapidly to renew ATP Citrate, the principal result of the citrus extract cycle, can likewise restrain PFK.

The next key control point comes after glycolysis, when pyruvate is changed over to acetyl CoA. This transformation step is irreversible in numerous living beings and controls how much acetyl CoA "fuel" enters the citrus extract. The compound that catalyses the transformation response is called pyruvate dehydrogenase. ATP and NADH make this protein less dynamic, while ADP makes it more
