We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Talk:Phosphofructokinase (PFK)
From Proteopedia
I don't understand this statement:
"The PFK reaction is strongly exergonic (irreversible) under physiological conditions and hence is one of the glycolytic pathway's rate-determining steps."
The fact that the reaction is strongly exergonic suggests that it should be extremely rapid, assuming the Hammond postulate. In the absence of the Hammond postulate, the speed of a reaction and its exergonicity are not causally related. Should that say "endergonic"? Cheers, mevans 02:55, 13 October 2010 (IST)
