Which of the following substances can modify the quaternary structure and the behavior of a protein such as aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) by binding to it?
A) Apoplastic effectors
B) Bacterial effectors
C) Allosteric effectors
D) Cytoplasmic effectors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric effectors can bind to a protein at a site other than the active site, leading to a change in its quaternary structure and altering its activity. This is the mechanism by which the behavior of aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) is modified.
