Glycolysis Regulation
Energy charge and citrate feedback on PFK. Phosphofructokinase is activated when cellular energy is low and inhibited when energy or biosynthetic intermediates are abundant. AMP is an allosteric activator, while citrate inhibits PFK and signals adequate TCA-cycle substrate/energy status.
Therefore activator = AMP, inhibitor = citrate
