What is allosteric regulation and how does it relate to enzyme activity?
What is allosteric regulation and how does it relate to enzyme activity?
Allosteric regulation refers to the regulation of an enzyme or protein by a molecule binding to a site other than the enzyme's active site. This process often involves the conformational change of the enzyme or protein, which affects its activity.
What is the significance of shared binding sites in allosteric proteins and what is an example of such a protein?
What is the significance of shared binding sites in allosteric proteins and what is an example of such a protein?
Shared binding sites in allosteric proteins allow for enhanced affinity of ligands when bound together. An example of such a protein is aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), which has six active sites that bind to aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate simultaneously.
What is the definition of allosteric regulation?
What is the definition of allosteric regulation?
- The regulation of an enzyme or protein by a molecule that enhances its activity
- The regulation of an enzyme or protein by a molecule binding to its active site
- The regulation of an enzyme or protein by a molecule binding to a site other than the enzyme's active site (correct)
- The regulation of an enzyme or protein by a molecule that inhibits its activity
