DEF

Enzyme reaction ... carried out ... by the actions of several kinds of enzymes, that is, by a multienzyme system.

CONT

The first step in a multienzyme reaction sequence, i.e., the step catalyzed by the allosteric enzyme, is usually irreversible under intracellular conditions. It is often called the committing reaction; once it occurs, all the ensuing reactions of the sequence take place. Clearly, it is good strategy for the cell to regulate a metabolic pathway at its first step, to achieve maximum economy of metabolites.
