Alexander Krueger · Answer 1

involves feedback inhibition by the end product of the pathway.

Explanation:

Amino acid biosynthesis is an anabolic process which forms amino acids from many types of precursors like keto acids. It is regulated by feedback inhibition. The end product of the process inhibits its own synthesis after a certain limit has been reached.

In amino acid biosynthesis pathways mostly the first step is regulated by feedback inhibition. For example, Serine amino acid inhibits its own synthesis by inhibiting 3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase enzyme which is involved in the first step of its production.
