The study was published in the journal Molecular Systems student Sultana Mohammed Al Zubaidi and PhD student Muhammad Ibtisam Nasar were the first co-authors of the Alam explained that the research provided a comprehensive network of intracellular enzyme–metabolite activator interactions by integrating the yeast metabolic network with enzyme data from multiple species. The findings revealed that most metabolic pathways include activatory interactions often linking across different pathways, highlighting extensive regulatory crosstalk within the cell's metabolic key discovery is that the early steps in many metabolic pathways are positively regulated, effectively priming downstream reactions for more efficient execution. This enhances overall metabolic study also found that the most highly catalytic enzymes are often involved in secondary pathways, which are activated under specific environmental conditions. Meanwhile, macromolecules play an essential role in cell survival. Dr. Alam emphasised that these findings represent a major step forward in understanding how cells regulate internal processes.
