phosphorylase's bicyclic cascade in muscle Flashcards
1
Q
why bicyclic
A
two cycles, one occuring on top of the other.
allows for much greater control than monocyclic.
allows for response to greater number of allosteric stimuli (a lot more input), much more flexibility in control patterns, allows for huge amplification potential in response to allosteric effector concentration.
2
Q
lower box
A
two cycles, and overlap with upper cycle.
3
Q
hut diagra,
A
hut digaram fits between the upper and lower cycle
4
Q
