In October, the sun shines for at least 7 hours per day but brace yourself for rain as there are on average 6 days of rainfall during the month. Around 70mm of rain falls throughout October with temperatures generally settling between 14 Â°C and 26 Â°C.
For example, ATP allosterically inhibits phosphofructokinase, but it activates the functionally opposite enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (see slide 7.5.3). Similarly, phosphorylation inhibits glycogen synthase but activates glycogen phosphorylase, which degrades glycogen (slide 8.4.1).llosteric regulation of phosphofructokinase by AMP. To accomplish the stimulation of phosphofructokinase, AMP interacts with the enzyme at an allosteric binding site, that is, a site that is distant and functionally distinct from the active site.
Insulin stimulates the dephosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, activating fatty acid synthesis. Phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by the hormones epinephrine, norepinephrine, and glucagon result in the inactivation of this enzyme, inhibiting synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA.Figure 2.atty acid biosynthesis occurs through the condensation of C 2 units and is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP (2). The process of fatty acid synthesis involves two regulatory steps. The first step is the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol to form malonyl CoA (Figure 1).
