[The role of multi-enzyme complexes in the integration of cell metabolism].
General properties of enzymes and structurally ordered multienzyme complexes as controllable systems are discussed: the spatial isolation of working sites and sites of control and the realization of control mechanisms with the participation of "external" factors which provide the optimal functioning of the controllable system in the biological system of higher level of complexity. The basic mechanisms of the control of soluble enzymes are isosteric and allosteric mechanisms which directed to the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The mechanism of functioning of a multienzyme complex as a whole which is realized with the participation of second messengers is classified as a mechanism for tracing of the signals from higher levels of the control of metabolism (from nervous, hormonal and immune systems). When discussing the control of functioning of the multienzyme complexes, special attention was paid to the complex of glycolytic enzymes formed on the structural proteins of skeletal muscles and on the membranes. An order of assembly of the complex of glycolytic enzymes is proposed. The possible localization of this complex in myofibrils is discussed.
