Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason corresponding to the fact that allosteric enzymes are crucial for the control of metabolism is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The enzyme which is able to do the conformational changes if an effector gets attached to it is known as allosteric enzyme. The small molecules that on binding to the enzyme regulate its activity are known as effectors. The effectors increases or decreases the activity of the enzyme.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Why do allosteric enzymes have two types of binding sites?
Why are such allosteric enzymes composed of more than one catalytic subunit?
A glycogen polymer and an amylopectin polymer, each containing 100 monosaccharide subunits, are cleaved completely by an enzyme. How many individual glucose molecules are created during this process?
