The bacillus subtilis glutamate anti-metabolon

Enzyme–enzyme interactions are largely assumed to act co-operatively to render biochemical pathways more efficient. However, under stress the glutamate synthase of _B. subtilis_ does the

exact opposite: it inhibits glutamate degradation by sterically hindering the activity of glutamate dehydrogenase. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
