PDC is regulated by substrate activation. This means that if substrate is not present in the pathway, the protein will be "off." The residue that is bound to start a cascade of events resulting in the activation of the enzyme is <scene name='Ken_Engle_SANDBOX/Regulation_site/ | PDC is regulated by substrate activation.

This process allows the enzyme to be on when its function is necessary and off when it would not be catalyzing the reaction even if it were on. | ||
