enzymstyret
Enzymstyret is a concept used in biochemistry to describe how metabolic pathways are governed primarily by the regulation of enzymes. In this view, the flow of metabolites through a network of reactions is determined by the activity, abundance, and localization of the enzymes that catalyze those reactions. Enzymstyret emphasizes control points at which small changes in enzyme behavior can have large effects on cellular metabolism, rather than regulation being driven solely by the concentrations of substrates or products.
The regulation described by enzymstyret occurs at multiple levels. Allosteric regulation uses effector molecules to alter
Examples commonly cited include the regulation of glycolysis by phosphofructokinase-1, which responds to energy status through
Enzymstyret is an important framework for understanding metabolic responses to stress, disease, and pharmacological intervention, guiding
