Question

Difference between allosteric enzyme and regulatory enzymes

Answer 1

Allosteric enzymes are enzymes that change their conformational ensemble upon binding of an effector, which results in an apparent change in binding affinity at a different ligand binding site.

A regulatory enzyme is an enzyme in a biochemical pathway which, through its responses to the presence of certain other biomolecules, regulates the pathway activity. This is usually done for pathways whose products may be needed in different amounts at different times, such as hormone production

Allosteric enzymes. This type ofenzymes presents two binding sites: the substrate of the enzyme and the effectors. Effectors are small molecules which modulate the enzymeactivity; they function through reversible, non-covalent binding of aregulatory metabolite in the allostericsite (which is not the active site
