Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric regulation involves the binding of a modulator molecule to the regulatory site of an enzyme through weak, reversible interactions, which can either inhibit or activate the enzyme's activity. This process allows for the regulation of enzyme activity in a cell, enabling the cell to respond to changes in its environment or to regulate metabolic pathways efficiently.
