Which is a typical example of 'feedback inhibition'?

  • Allosteric inhibition of hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate

  • Reaction between succinic dehydrogenase and succinic acid

  • Cyanide and cytochrome reaction

  • Sulpha drugs and folic acid synthesizer bacteria

Solution

A.

Allosteric inhibition of hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate

Feedback inhibition is a form of enzyme regulation whereby products prevent product formation by binding to an allosteric site and inhibiting enzyme activity.
