EA8.2.  regulatory loop   qh
SN For example, a biosynthetic pathway is made up of a series of enzymes that take a molecule and convert it into another molecule through a sequence of catalyzed reactions. Feedback regulation is the mechanism by which biosynthetic and catabolic pathways regulate themselves. These pathways have evolved self-regulation such that, if too much of the end product or a byproduct is around it, it acts as an inhibitor of an earlier reaction.

SN The inhibition of enzyme activity in which the products of a reaction or series of reactions acts upon the enzyme(s) responsible for the generation of that product.
      Thus, the abundance of a substance slows the rate of production of that substance. If, similarly, low concentration of a substance increases the rate of production then there should exist a stable concentration (or range of concentrations) of that substance that is maintained over time.
