High levels of ATP can inhibit the activity of 11ea8d43_ab8d_bea6_b445_814563b3451a_TB6697_11_TB6697_11-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase in the citrate cycle through feedback inhibition. This is because high levels of ATP indicate that energy needs are met and there is no need for further production via the citrate cycle.
