abstract：:Phosphofructokinase-2 from rat liver is inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate and ADP. Phosphoenolpyruvate reduces the maximum activity in respect to fructose-6-phosphate and ATP but does not give rise to complete inhibition of phosphofructokinase-2. ADP increases the apparent Michaelis constant of the enzyme for ATP and l...
