Detailed explanation-1: -Feedback inhibition, where the end product of the pathway inhibits an upstream process, is an important regulatory mechanism in cells. The production of both amino acids and nucleotides is controlled through feedback inhibition.

Detailed explanation-2: -End product inhibition is also known as feedback inhibition. Here the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits the enzyme involved in early reactions. Enzymes are proteins which speed up chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -The final product of the biochemical pathway. In the example above, how does the final product of the pathway inhibit the pathway? By binding to an allosteric site of the first enzyme in the pathway.

Detailed explanation-4: -Feedback inhibition (also known as End-product inhibition) is a type of negative feedback that can be used to control metabolic pathways. End-product inhibition occurs when a reaction’s final product blocks an enzyme from a previous phase in the sequence.

Detailed explanation-5: -Feedback inhibition is the situation where the end product of a biochemical pathway inhibits the activity of an enzyme catalyzing one of the reactions (normally the first reaction) of the pathway.
