Allosteric Enzymes • Allosteric: Greek allo + steric, other shape • Allosteric enzyme: an oligomer whose biological activity is affected by other substances binding to it • these substances change the enzyme’s activity by altering the conformation(s) of its 4°structure • Allosteric effector: a substance that modifies the behavior of an allosteric enzyme; may be an • allosteric inhibitor • allosteric activator • Aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) • feedback inhibition
