16
Q

A group of enzymes that all catalyze the same substrate in different conditions

A

Isozymes

17
Q

Tri-phosphate group from ATP is added into the enzyme changing it shape and possibly inactivating it

A

Phosphorylation (enzyme control mechanism)

18
Q

The product of the process binds to the enzyme inactivating it

A

Feedback inhibition (enzyme control mechanism)

19
Q

Similar to noncompetitive inhibition where a molecule binds to a non-active site to change the shape of the enzyme either activating or inactivating it

A

Allosteric regulation (enzyme control mechanism)
