Anatomy and Physiology I
Allosteric regulation is a process by which the activity of an enzyme is modulated through the binding of regulatory molecules at sites other than the active site, known as allosteric sites. This binding can result in conformational changes in the enzyme, either enhancing or inhibiting its activity. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining metabolic homeostasis and allows for fine-tuning of enzyme function in response to varying cellular conditions.
congrats on reading the definition of allosteric regulation. now let's actually learn it.
