Phosphofructokinase type 1

The enzyme Phosphofructokinase Type-1 uses another ATP molecule to transfer a phosphate group to fructose 6-phosphate to form fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate. PFK-1 is an allosteric enzyme showing cooperative behaviour with Fru6P and hyperbolic kinetics with ATP.

Chemical equation

$Fru6P + ATP \rightleftharpoons Fru1,6BP + ADP$

Rate equation

The concerted transition model of Monod, Wyman and Changeux (MWC model) is used as a rate equation for this tetrameric enzyme for considering exclusive ligand binding (F6P, activators and inhibitors) together with mixed type activation, (Fru2,6BP or AMP or Pi).

$\left (\left (\frac{\frac{[ATP]}{K_{ATP}}}{1 + \frac{[ATP]}{K_{ATP}} }\right ) \left ( \frac{ 1 + \frac{[\beta Fru2,6BP]}{ \alpha Ka_{Fru2,6BP} } }{ 1 + \frac{[Fru2,6BP]}{ \alpha Ka_{Fru2,6BP} } } \right ) \left( \frac{\frac{[Fru6P]\left(1+\frac{[Fru2,6BP]}{[\alpha Ka_{Fru2,6BP}]}\right)}{K_{Fru6P}\left(1 + \frac{[Fru2,6BP]}{Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)} \left[1 + \frac{[Fru6P]\left(1+\frac{[Fru2,6BP]}{\alpha Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)}{K_{Fru6P\left(1 + \frac{[Fru2n6BP]}{Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)}} \right]^3} { \frac{L\left( 1 + \frac{[CIT]}{Ki_{CIT}}\right)^4\left(1 + \frac{[ATP]}{Ki_{ATP}}\right)^4}{\left(1+\frac{[Fru2,6BP]}{Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)^4} + \left[1 + \frac{Fru6P\left(1+\frac{Fru2,6BP}{\alpha Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)}{K_{Fru6P\left(1 + \frac{[Fru2n6BP]}{Ka_{Fru2,6BP}}\right)}} \right]^4 } \right) - \left( \frac{\frac{[ADP][F1,6BP]}{K_{ADP}K_{F1,6BP}K_{eq}}}{\frac{[ADP]}{K_{ADP}} + \frac{[Fru1,6BP]}{K_{Fru1,6BP}} + \frac{[ADP][Fru1,6BP]}{K_{ADP}K_{Fru1,6BP}} + 1 } \right) \right)$
