Biomolecules Question 65
Question: Allosteric enzymes have allosteric sites for:
Options:
A) Inhibition only
B) Activation only
C) Reduction in activation energy
D) Both activation and inhibition
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The allosteric site of an enzyme is where a molecule that is not a substrate may bind to either enhance or reduce the enzyme activity.
Binding of an allosteric regulator changes the shape of the enzyme and influencing its overall activity
So, the correct answer is ‘Both activation and inhibition’
