abstract：:AMP, an allosteric inhibitor at neutral pH, activates snakes muscle fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase at pH 9.2. The activation is virtually unique for the snake muscle enzyme: activation was not observed for the enzymes from either human and rabbit liver or porcine kidney. The activation is Mg(2+)-dependent but was not obs...
