Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric inhibition occurs when a regulatory molecule binds to a site on the enzyme that is separate from the active site. This often causes a change in the shape of the enzyme, which can prevent the substrate from binding or reduce the enzyme's activity. Excess substrate, changes in temperature or pH, and lack of coenzymes typically do not cause allosteric inhibition.
