As can be seen from the graph below, the plots for the activity of PFK are sigmoidal. This further demonstrates the cooperative nature of the enzyme. The initial binding of substrate to the enzyme is difficult, but once it has and forces the change in state from T -> R the other substrates bind much more easily. The graph also shows that adding ATP moves the plot right (ie decreases affinity for F6P), while adding AMP moves it to the left.
