Reaction mechanism of erythrocyte phosphofructokinase.
The reaction mechanism of erythrocyte phosphofructokinase (PFK) was investigated by the initial velocity and the product inhibition. Intersecting lines obtained with initial velocity studies are consistent with a sequential mechanism and the formation of ternary complex as an intermediate. The product inhibition studies support an ordered Bi Bi mechanism in which fructose 6 phosphate (F6P) is the first substrate binding and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is dissociated from the enzyme before fructose-1,6-P2 (FDP).
