Want to know:

A metabolic pathway proceeds according to the scheme, R --> S --> T --> U --> V --> W. A regulatory enzyme, X, catalyzes the first reaction in the pathway. Which of the following is most likely correct for this pathway? A) Either metabolite U or V is likely to be a positive modulator, increasing the activity of X. B) The first product S, is probably the primary negative modulator of X, leading to feedback inhibition. C) The last product, W, is likely to be a negative modulator of X, leading to feedback inhibition. D) The last product, W, is likely to be a positive modulator, increasing the activity of X. E) The last reaction will be catalyzed by a second regulatory enzyme.
