Abstract
Pyruvate kinase (PYK) controls glycolytic flux. Here, the authors combine biochemical, structural and computational modelling studies to characterize the allosteric mechanisms regulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis PYK activity and show that AMP and glucose-6-phosphate are synergistic allosteric activators of the enzyme.
