Question

Under conditions when a cell only needs to use the nonoxidative portion of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate, the elevated levels of NADPH in the cell will inhibit which of the following enyzymes?

A) Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase
B) Transaldolase
C) Transketolase
D) Glucose 6-phosphatase
E) Alpha ketogluterate dehydrogenase

Answer 1

A) Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase is inhibited by elevated levels of NADPH in the cell when a cell only needs to use the nonoxidative portion of the Pentose Phosphate Pathway to synthesize ribose-5-phosphate.
