Which type of enzyme regulation occurs when a substrate enters an active site, thereby stabilizing the enzyme for other substrates to enter other active sites? a. Allosteric activation B. Feedback inhibition c. Noncompetitive inhibition D. Allosteric inhibition e. Competitive inhibition
Solution
Answer: A. Allosteric activation
Explanation:
Allosteric inhibitors modify the active site of the enzyme so that substrate binding is reduced or prevented whereas allosteric activators modify the active site of the enzyme so that the affinity for the substrate increases.
