Question

Allosteric inhibition of an enzyme generally results from

Answer 1

In noncompetitive inhibition, an inhibitor molecule binds to the enzyme at a location other than the active site (an allosteric site). The substrate can still bind to the enzyme, but the inhibitor changes the shape of the enzyme so it is no longer in optimal position to catalyze the reaction.

Answer 2

Answer :-

First of all, what is Allosteric inhibition ?

Ans - "Allosteric inhibition" can be defined as the process of inhibition of enzymes.

Allosteric inhibition is caused by the product of an enzyme catalysed reaction.

Extra Information :-

• Allosteric inhibition is also known as "Feedback inhibition".

• "Hexokinase" helps in the conversion of Glucose into Glucose-6-Phosphate.

• "Hexokinase" shows feedback inhibition.

• Glucose-6-Phosphate, the end product, can inhibit the activity of "Hexokinase".

• The phenomenon of the feedback inhibition of enzymes, is greatly influenced by the end product.
