Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.

Compare the regulation of methionine and threonine biosynthesis.

Accepted Answer

Methionine and threonine biosynthesis are regulated differently. Methionine synthesis is primarily controlled by the availability of its precursor, homocysteine, and the activity of the enzyme cystathionine β-synthase. Threonine synthesis, on the other hand, is primarily regulated by the feedback inhibition of the enzyme aspartate kinase, which catalyzes the first step in the pathway.
