Which regulatory mechanism does NOT depend on a conformational change in protein/enzyme structure to change activity?
A) attenuation
B) catabolite repression
C) feedback inhibition
D) negative control

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Attenuation is a regulatory mechanism that controls the termination of transcription and does not directly involve a conformational change in a protein or enzyme to alter its activity. It is specific to prokaryotic organisms and is often seen in the regulation of amino acid biosynthesis pathways, such as the tryptophan operon in bacteria.
