Question

B--> C--->D A--> E-->F---->G
H shows feedback inhibition of A. What initially happens to H if the enzyme that catalyses B and C is inhibited? What happens to A as a result? What is the final effect on A? B--> C--->D A--> E-->F---->G

H shows feedback inhibition of A. What initially happens to H if the enzyme that catalyses B and C is inhibited? What happens to A as a result? What is the final effect on A?

Explanation / Answer

If B is not converted to C due to enzyme inhibition, more and more quantity of A and B will accumulate and as a result H will inhibit the A to B conversion. The reaction will not proceed per se and A will be rendered inactive by H.
