Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allosteric modulators bind to proteins away from the active site, causing a conformational change that can either increase or decrease enzyme activity. This is different from competitive modulators, which bind directly to the active site and can be displaced by competition. Allosteric modulators are also different from irreversible antagonists, which bind irreversibly to the active site and permanently block enzyme activity. Phosphorylation is a post-translational modification that can regulate enzyme activity, but it is not a type of modulator.
