Answer:

Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is a positive regulator of glycolysis and a negative regulator of gluconeogenesis.

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase-1.

When fructose-2,6-bisphosphate binds to its allosteric site on PFK-1, it increases the enzymes affinity for its substrate fructose-6- phosphate and reduces its affinity for ATP and citrate, its allosteric inhibitors. This favors favors glycolysis.

However, binding of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate on its allosteric site on FBpase-1 has the opposite effect on it. It reduces its affinity for its substrate, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, thereby inibiting gluconeogenesis.

andrey2020 [161]

mtDNA analysis is the best DNA technology to use. In DNA fingerprinting scientists run a gel electrophoresis of the subject's DNA in order to establish the banding patterns of the DNA fragments. People will always share half of their DNA with a parent. SO half of an individual's banding pattern will match half of their parent's DNA banding pattern. If someone is missing is found then scientists can compare the DNA fingerprint or banding patterns to see what the likelihood is of them being related.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

To determine the effect of toxin binding, you perform a Competitive Binding Experiment

Explanation:

Competitive binding experiments are very relevant when matters relating to cellular and or molecular toxicity are concerned.

They are used to determine the binding of a single concentration of labeled ligand in the presence of various concentrations of unlabeled ligand.

They are important because:

1. Validate a direct binding assay

2. Confirm whether or not a drug binds to the receptor

3. determine and explore how low-affinity drugs and receptors interact and it's resultant effects
