Where Do Allosteric Inhibitors Bind?

The allosteric inhibitor binds to an enzyme at a site other than the active site. The shape of the active site is altered so that the enzyme can no longer bind to its substrate.

How do allosteric activators bind?

Allosteric activators bind to locations on an enzyme away from the active site, inducing a conformational change that increases the affinity of the enzyme's active site(s) for its substrate(s). Allosteric inhibitors modify the active site of the enzyme so that substrate binding is reduced or prevented.

Where do allosteric inhibitors bind on an enzyme quizlet?

Where do allosteric inhibitors bind on an enzyme? A. They always bind at a site different from the active site.
