Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate,
zhenek [66]
I believe in the presence of oxygen, an increase in the amount of ATP in a cell would be expected to inhibit the enzyme and therefore, slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Phosphofructokinase is and enzyme that phosphorylates fructose 6 phosphate in glycolysis. It is an important control enzyme in the regulation of cellular respiration. It is inhibited by ATP and is an allosteric enzyme.
