Allosteric regulation is accomplished by
A) a small molecule that fits into an enzyme's active site.
B) a large protein that blocks an enzyme's active site.
C) a small molecule that fits into a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.
D) a small molecule that covalently modifies a site on the enzyme that is not the active site.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric regulation involves a small molecule, known as an allosteric effector, binding to a site on the enzyme that is not the active site. This binding causes a conformational change in the enzyme that either enhances or inhibits its activity.
