This study explores the enzymatic behavior of Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase (CPS) through the investigation of wild-type and DAD (DA linker) variants. The focus lies on the interaction between substrates such as ATP, bicarbonate, and aspartate, alongside the effects of exogenous "cold" carbamoyl phosphate. The research highlights observed vs. theoretical concentrations in various conditions, emphasizing the distinct channeling of carbamoyl phosphate in wild-type CPS compared to the non-channeling DAD variant. Insights are adapted from key biochemical literature, enhancing our understanding of CPS mechanisms.
