Metabolic Regulation of Pathways · Zoology

Allosteric regulation of enzymes involves:

  1. Covalent modification such as phosphorylation
  2. Effector binding at non-active sites
  3. Irreversible enzyme inhibition
  4. Degradation of substrates
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Effector binding at non-active sites

Allosteric regulation occurs when molecules bind to sites other than the active site. This binding alters enzyme activity by changing its conformation.
