Allosteric Effects MCQ Practice Questions (Bio Chemistry)

In biochemistry, allosteric regulation (or allosteric control) is the regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the enzyme’s active site

The site to which the effector binds is termed the allosteric site or regulatory site. Allosteric sites allow effectors to bind to the protein, often resulting in a conformational change involving protein dynamics. Effectors that enhance the protein’s activity are referred to as allosteric activators, whereas those that decrease the protein’s activity are called allosteric inhibitors

Allosteric regulations are a natural example of control loops, such as feedback from downstream products or feedforward from upstream substrates. Long-range allostery is especially important in cell signaling. Allosteric regulation is also particularly important in the cell’s ability to adjust enzyme activity

These questions will give you basic idea for Examination Preparation and/or interview on Allosteric Effects.

Please Note:

1. These questions are only for practice and understanding level of knowledge only. It is not necessary that these questions may or may not appear for examinations and/or interview questions
2. In this practice test, because of large amount of questions (around 11 questions) some of questions may have repeated
3. I had to put as 70% pass rate because there may also be wrong answers from my side
