Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the sequential model of allosterism, as regulatory molecules bind to allosteric sites, the active site-containing subunit shifts from the T (tense) state to the R (relaxed) state, which effectively activates the subunit. This model suggests that the binding of a ligand can induce a conformational change in the protein that makes it more active or receptive to additional ligand molecules.
