Phosphonacetyl-L-aspartate (PALA) is a potent inhibitor of aspartate transcarbamoylase because itmimics the two physiological substrates of the enzyme. However, in the presence of substrates, lowconcentrations of PALA increase the reaction rate of aspartate transcarbamoylase. Explain this result.
When the identical subunits of chicken liver fatty acid synthase are dissociated in vitro, all of the activities can be detected in the separated subunits except for the β-ketoacyl synthase reaction and the overall synthesis of palmitate. Explain these observations.
