Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric inhibition occurs when a molecule binds to a site on an enzyme that is different from the active site, causing a conformational change that inhibits the enzyme's activity. In this case, the product is binding to an allosteric site, which is causing the enzyme to be inhibited. To allow the enzyme to function again, some of the product must be removed or used up, which can be accomplished by choosing choice C, remove some of the product. Adding more enzyme (choice A) or adding more substrate (choice B) would not necessarily alleviate the inhibition caused by the product binding to the allosteric site. Removing some of the substrate (choice D) would not be helpful either, as it would decrease the amount of product that is being produced, exacerbating the inhibition.
