Question
Chapter 17, Problem 39RE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role played by the modification of enzymes of aerobic glycolysis in cancer treatment is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Cancer is mainly caused by dysfunctionality that arises in
The key enzyme involved in glycolysis is pyruvate kinase (PKM). It is divided into two isozymes—PKM1 and PKM2.
The isozyme PKM1 is found in normal cells, whereas PKM2 is found in cancer cells.
