Hello, can someone please help me with biology? Please?
Hello, I need to explain: What function it could have for metabolism if there are products of enzymatically catalyzed reactions that simultaneously act as inhibitors of the same enzyme-substrate complexes.
Thank you in advance. Thank you!

If I understand your question correctly, the function of reaction products from enzymatically catalyzed processes is required, which in turn have an inhibitory effect in this metabolic cycle.
Answer: As long as these reaction products are present only in a low concentration, they are largely meaningless, i.e. the reaction can take place unhindered. However, if they have reached a certain critical concentration, the inhibitory action begins, which leads to a relatively stable concentration being established.
We therefore have a control loop in front of us, which has the effect that stable concentration states are formed, which is essential for the viability of numerous biological systems.
Any ideas from your side, for which such self-regulation could be useful?
