ATP is a cosubstrate of the enzyme PFK-1.In most species ATP is also an inhibitor of PFK-1 at higher concentrations.This seems to violate Le Chatelier's Principle.Which statement below would provide a suitable explanation?
A) PFK-1 must be phosphorylated by ATP in the active site and the phosphorylated PFK-1 must be the less active form.
B) There must be another cofactor interacting with ATP at high concentrations to achieve inhibition of PFK-1.
C) ATP actually activates the reverse of the reaction preceding the PFK-1 step in the pathway.It likely has no direct effect on PFK-1.
D) There are two sites on PFK-1 that bind ATP.One is the active site;the other is the regulatory site where inhibition occurs.
