What happens at an allosteric site?
The allosteric site allows molecules to either activate or inhibit, or turn off, enzyme activity. These molecules bind the allosteric site and change the confirmation, or shape, of the enzyme. Molecules that turn off enzymes are called allosteric inhibitors.
What binds to allosteric site?
In noncompetitive inhibition (also known as allosteric inhibition), an inhibitor binds to an allosteric site; the substrate can still bind to the enzyme, but the enzyme is no longer in optimal position to catalyze the reaction.
