Enzymes and feedback control

[Oracle]

In my study notes it gives a very brief explanation on enzymes regulated by feedback control and it is not making any sense to me.

 

it says...

 

"sequence of reactions whereby the last product D may stop the activity of E1, so that when D is low - the whole reaction is rapid conversely when D is high - the whole reaction is inhibited"

[DrDNA]

Basically, it means that the product inhibits an enzyme involved in the sequence of steps so that production is limited. In other words, in your specific case, D inhibits E1 so that the production of B (and all products down stream) is decreased.

 

PS: In the future, you might get quicker help if you post it in the homework help forum.

 

Have a great evening.
