Question
Chapter 21, Problem 29P
Interpretation Introduction
Introduction:
Glycogen synthase b enzyme regulation should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Glycogen synthesis is allostericallyregulated.The phosphorylated glycogen synthase b enzyme gets activated in the presence of glucose-6-phosphate, which is its allosteric activator.

They are re-sponsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20-carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin en-doperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins (prostaglandin synthesis is described in Chapter 21). a)The kinetic data given below are for the reaction catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
