title: Quasi-stationary concentrations of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in the phosphofructokinase-2/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase cycle.
abstract: The cooperation of phosphofructokinase-2 and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase is investigated. Experimentally derived rate laws of the kinase and bisphosphatase activities introduced into the respective differential equations permitted to describe the time evolution of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to quasi-stationary levels. The two enzyme activities were found to exert strong temperature dependence. The quasi-stationary levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, however, are independent on temperature.
