Question
HLPaper 1A
Some bacteria can synthesize the amino acid isoleucine from threonine, a process involving five enzymes ( to ) and four intermediary products (P, Q, R and S). The production of isoleucine is controlled by end-product inhibition.
Which statement describes this end-product inhibition?
A
If isoleucine accumulates, it inhibits the production of P .
B
End-product inhibition causes a build-up of intermediary products.
C
Isoleucine inhibits , so no more isoleucine is produced.
D
Isoleucine affects the structure of threonine.
