Glucose-6-Phosphate Appears to be a Competitive Inhibitor of the Bovine Intestine Enzyme Alkaline Phosphatase Abstract This study focuses on the effects of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) on the kinetics of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. Because G6P is a common molecule and has a phosphoester bond, it may prevent alkaline phosphatase from hydrolyzing certain substrates. The data collected in this study seem to indicate that G6P is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme …
