Question

Consider the following image depicting enzyme regulation.  Which of the following is depicted by this model?
A) protein modification 
B) allosterism 
C) competitive inhibition 
D) feedback control

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image shows a typical allosteric regulation of an enzyme, where a molecule binds to a regulatory site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change and altering the activity of the enzyme. This is a form of non-competitive inhibition, as the inhibitor does not directly compete with the substrate for the active site.
