Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is an allosteric site?
  • Step 1: Understand that enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
  • Step 2: Know that enzymes have specific areas where molecules can attach to them.
  • Step 3: Identify that the main area where the substrate (the molecule the enzyme works on) binds is called the active site.
  • Step 4: Learn that there are other areas on the enzyme, called allosteric sites, where different molecules can attach.
  • Step 5: Realize that when a molecule binds to the allosteric site, it can change the shape of the enzyme.
  • Step 6: Understand that this change can either increase or decrease the enzyme's activity, affecting how well it works.
