If an enzyme is an allosteric enzyme, which site(s) will it have?

Answer 4

1. Active Site
2. Allosteric Site

Question 5

Occurs when a substance mimics a substrate and inhibits the enzyme by binding at the active site

Answer 5

Competitive Inhibition

Question 6

In order to counteract competitive inhibition, what can be done?

Answer 6

Increase substrate concentration

Question 7

Occurs when a substance binds to an allosteric site of an enzyme, preventing the needed chemical reaction from going through completion
