Therefore, the activity of the enzyme increases when the cellular ATP/AMP ratio is lowered. Glycolysis is thus stimulated when energy charge falls. PFK1 has two sites with different affinities for ATP which is both a substrate and an inhibitor. [3] PFK1 is also inhibited by low pH levels which augment the inhibitory effect of ATP.
The enzyme-catalysed transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP is an important reaction in a wide variety of biological processes. [1] Phosphofructokinase catalyses the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate , a key regulatory step in the glycolytic pathway .
Medicinal enzyme inhibitors often have low dissociation constants, meaning that only a minute amount of the inhibitor is required to inhibit the enzyme. A low concentration of the enzyme inhibitor reduces the risk for liver and kidney damage and other adverse drug reactions in humans.

Fru-2,6-P 2 strongly activates glucose breakdown in glycolysis through allosteric modulation (activation) of phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1).Elevated expression of Fru-2,6-P 2 levels in the liver allosterically activates phosphofructokinase 1 by increasing the enzyme’s affinity for fructose 6-phosphate, while decreasing its affinity for inhibitory ATP and citrate.
Together, these findings put into question the range of scientific research and publications where 3PO and its derivatives (such as PFKF158) was used as a PFKFB3 inhibitor. In 2018 Kancera reported development and characterization of KAN0438241 (and its pro-drug KAN0438757) as a potent and highly selective PFKFB3 inhibitor and a radiosensitizer ...
A phosphodiesterase inhibitor is a drug that blocks one or more of the five subtypes of the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE), thereby preventing the inactivation of the intracellular second messengers, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by the respective PDE subtype(s). The ubiquitous presence of this ...
In enzymology, 1-phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.56) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction. ATP + D-fructose 1-phosphate → ADP + D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ATP and D-fructose 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are ADP and D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate.
