Cells must constantly manage metabolic pathways, and this is often done by balancing specific biochemical reactions within a pathway. For example, the metabolic product of one pathway may block the formation of that specific metabolite at an earlier point in the pathway to prevent a buildup of that specific product. What is this process called?

Metabolism is carried out by a large class of proteins that decrease the activation energy required for chemical reactions inside a cell. Therefore they only facilitate reactions that would naturally occur at a much slower rate. What is the name of these proteins that speed up biochemical reactions?

In many types of cancer, proteins that are crucial regulators of the cell cycle are often mutated and cannot function correctly. This leads to the evasion of apoptosis and to the loss of control of cell proliferation? For example, many cancer cells carry two mutant copies of the gene that codes for a tumor suppressor protein named p53. What is the normal function of p53 that is lost when it is mutated?
