An allosteric inhibitor is added to an enzyme substrate mixture.What is likely to happen?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An allosteric inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site of an enzyme, causing a conformational change that reduces the enzyme's activity. This means that the inhibitor will interfere with the enzyme's ability to convert the substrate into a product, ultimately reducing the amount of product formed. The inhibitor does not directly affect substrate binding or denature the enzyme.
