A, Inhibition of AGPase activity by phosphate. The activity of AGPase was measured using the forward reaction in the presence of varying concentrations of Pi at several fixed concentrations of 3-PGA: 1 mm (▴), 2.5 mm (•), 5 mm (▾), and 10 mm (♦). The Ki for Pi was determined from the X intercept at each 3-PGA concentration. B, Determination of the binding constant of Pi in the absence of 3-PGA. A plot of Ki versus 3-PGA concentration was used to determine the binding constant of Pi in the absence of 3-PGA.
