MCQ
Which site of an enzyme is called allosteric site?
  • A
    Which binds to the cell wall.
  • B
    Where drugs bind to an enzyme.
  • Which is not the active site, where some drugs bind to an enzyme.
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Which is not the active site, where some drugs bind to an enzyme.
The allosteric site is the site, which is not the active site, where some drugs bind to an enzyme.
Due to this, the shape of the enzyme changes, it becomes difficult for the substrate to recognize the active site of the enzyme.
This represents non $-$ competitive inhibition.
