Chapter 6, Problem 13RQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The models for the interactions of the allosteric enzymes. The application ofany of the models in studying the interaction of the oxygen molecules with hemoglobin.

Introduction:

In a biochemical reaction, there is a specific reaction between the enzyme and the substrate. The specific substrate of the enzyme can bind to the site of the catalytic activity. There are many sitesother than the catalytic site that are known as the allosteric sites, where any molecule or ligand other than the substrate can bind.
