Which of the following is a feature of allosteric regulation of enzyme activity?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the given options are features of allosteric regulation of enzyme activity. Ligand binding usually causes a change in the enzyme's conformation that affects the binding and catalytic activity of the enzyme. Allosteric enzymes may have multiple active sites that regulate the activity of each other. Cooperativity in substrate binding refers to the change in the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate as the substrate concentration changes. There could be a range of different effectors for a single enzyme that bind to different specific locations and potentially trigger different conformational changes that affect the enzyme activity.
