Solution
The correct option is C Allosteric enzyme
Allosteric enzymes function through reversible, noncovalent binding of regulatory compounds called as allosteric modulators or allosteric effectors, which are generally small metabolites or cofactors. Allosteric proteins (enzymes) are those having other shapes or conformations induced by the binding of modulators. Conformational changes induced by one or more modulators interconvert more active and less-active forms of the enzyme. The modulators for allosteric enzymes may be inhibitory or stimulatory. Often the modulator is the substrate itself; regulatory enzymes for which substrate and modulator are identical are called homotropic. When the modulator is a molecule other than the substrate, the enzyme is said to be heterotropic.
