When binding of the inducer to the repressor causes a conformational change, which then prevents the repressor from binding to DNA, the repressor is called a(n) _____ protein.
A) coactivator
B) allosteric
C) structural
D) operating
E) responsive

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The repressor is called an allosteric protein because the binding of the inducer causes a conformational change that affects its ability to bind to DNA.
