Abstract
A fructose diphosphatase–phosphofructokinase substrate cycle has been reconstructed in vitro to provide a system that recycles fructose 6-phosphate and hydrolyses ATP to ADP and Pi. The concerted actions of glucose phosphate isomerase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase and triose phosphate isomerase catalysed the loss of 3H from [5-3H,U-14C]glucose 6-phosphate. This was used as the basis of a method for the estimation of the fructose diphosphatase–phosphofructokinase substrate cycle. For the reconstructed cycle, the rate of decrease of the 3H/14C ratio in [5-3H,U-14C]hexose 6-phosphate was proportional to the rate of fructose 6-phosphate substrate cycling. A detailed theoretical treatment of this relationship is developed, which enables the rate of substrate cycling to be determined in vivo.Keywords
