Enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose
Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) is a large enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6-phosphate during glycolysis. In fungi, the PFK-1 enzyme is composed of four alpha subunits and four beta subunits. How would you describe the quaternary structure of PFK-1? (2pts) A. aß heterodimer B. heterotetramer C. α4β4 homotetramer D. daf4 homooctamer E. a4ßs heterooctame
Signaling processes within the cell
The Ras protein is an important protein in signaling processes within the cell. It exists freely in the cell cytoplasm, but must become anchored to the inner surface of the cell membrane in order to carry out its function. What kind of modification to the protein might take place to allow this to happen?
