Question

"Which molecule controls the rate of pentose phosphate pathway?

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1:

Correct option is A: "NaDP+/NaDPH"

Part 2:

Correct option is F: "glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase"

Explanation:

Various levels of control are put in place to keep a check on the pathway. This is an example of one such control. This dehydrogenase enzyme is responsible to control the rate of reaction and it is stimulated by NADP+ while it is inhibited by NaDPH. The oxidative reaction is under the influence of the NaDP+/NaDPH concentration, which is catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
