Abstract
Transient physical association between enzymes appears to be a cardinal feature of metabolic systems, yet the purpose of this metabolic organisation remains enigmatic. It is generally assumed that substrate channelling occurs in these complexes. However, there is a lack of information concerning the mechanisms and extent of substrate channelling and confusion regarding the consequences of substrate channelling. In this review, we outline recent advances in the structural characterisation of enzyme assemblies and integrate this with new insights from reaction-diffusion modelling and synthetic biology to clarify the mechanistic and functional significance of the phenomenon.This publication has 112 references indexed in Scilit:
