Chapter 19, Problem 19.77QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The difference between positive and negative allosterism has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Allosteric enzymes are those enzymes whose active sites have been altered by the binding of certain small molecules called effector molecules. The term allosteric refers to other forms of the enzymes. This is because the allosteric enzyme shaves an additional effector binding site besides the usual active site.
