Which statement about allosteric control of enzymatic activity is FALSE? A) Allosteric effectors give rise to sigmoidal V₀ versus [S] kinetic plots. B) Allosteric proteins are generally composed of several subunits. C) An effector may either inhibit or activate an enzyme. D) Binding of the effector changes the conformation of the enzyme molecule. E) Heterotropic allosteric effectors compete with substrate for binding sites.
