A Allosteric site B Allosteric site C Allosteric site Allosteric effector Active site Allosteric effector Active site Allosteric effector 5 Novel binding site In panel A, the effector induces a conformational change that enhances enzyme activity. The effector regulates enzyme activity by binding to the active site. In panel B, the effector induces a conformational change that inhibits enzyme activity. In panel A, the effector induces a conformational change that inhibits enzyme activity. The effector regulates enzyme activity by binding to the substrate. In panel B, the effector induces a conformational change that enhances enzyme activity.

In biochemistry, enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Catalysis is the addition of a catalyst to a chemical reaction to speed up the pace of the reaction. Catalysis can be categorized as either homogeneous or heterogeneous, depending on…

A substance that acts as a catalyst to regulate the reaction rate in the living organism's metabolic pathways without itself getting altered is an enzyme. Most of the biological reactions and metabolic pathways in the living systems are carried out by en…
