Biochemical threshold effect
Description
Due to threshold effects, even a large defect diminishing the velocity of an individual enzyme results in only minor changes of pathway flux.

Biochemical threshold plot for convergent NS (CI
&II-linked; full line, left) and N (CI-linked) pathway flux based on electron gating (dotted line, right). An enzymatic defect of a single step (CIV) exerts no or little effect on N-pathway and NS-pathway flux (horizontal lines) up to a threshold. Beyond the threshold a linear slope is obtained, which is extrapolated to the apparent excess capacity of the single step. The physiological threshold is overestimated for N-pathway flux, which is restricted by electron gating (
