Several nucleoside phosphates inhibited enzyme activity at their physiological concentrations (about 10−4 m). Glucose 6-phosphate and UDPglucose released these inhibitions at levels above their physiological concentrations. Unless compartmentation is invoked, experiments suggest that the glucose-6-phosphate-dependent enzyme is inactive in vivo. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-100-1-89
