Question

What are the advantages of channeling?

Short answer

Channeling allows the local concentration of ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$to reach a higher value than is present in the cellular medium.

Step-by-step solution

Channeling.

The phenomenon in which the intermediate of two reactions is directly transferred from one enzyme active site to another is called channeling.

Increases the rate of the metabolic pathway.  

The rate of a metabolic pathway is facilitated by channeling by preventing the loss of its intermediate products and protecting the intermediates from degradation. Channeling is critical for CPS.
