An often overlooked aspect of carbohydrate metabolism is that most carbohydrates in solution are mixtures of several constitutional and configurational isomers (acyclic forms and anomers), each present in different concentrations and capable of displaying a different affinity and reactivity for enzyme catalytic and allostenc sites (anomeric specificity). In this paper, the possibility is considered that this characteristic isomerism of carbohydrates might provide the basis for regulation of the enzymes that metabolize them, using the example of the phosphofructokinase/fructose 1, 6-bisphosphatase enzyme pair. Several investigators have pointed out the possibility that anomedc specificity may play a regulatory role [1-5]; however, until now no mechanism has been proposed to show how this regulation may be achieved. The basis for the regulatory mechanism proposed in this communication is the recent harvest of data concerning the anomeric equilibria of carbohydrates in solution (reviewed in [6, 7]) and the anomeric specificity of the enzymes of glucose metabolism (reviewed in [2, 4]). D-Fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) and D-fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate (FBP) have been shown by laC NMR spectroscopy to be equilibrated mixtures in aqueous solution (fig. l), composed of
