The behavior of allosteric enzymes
A) does not play any role in feedback inhibition in metabolic pathways
B) is strongly dependent on the presence of metal ions
C) is related to their ability to hydrolyze themselves
D) depends on changes in their quaternary structure on binding of substrates or inhibitors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric enzymes change their quaternary structure upon binding of substrates or inhibitors, which affects their activity and allows for regulation of metabolic pathways, including feedback inhibition.
