Question

Jacob and Monod named some enzymes as allosteric whose activity is regulated by

• A. End product
• B. Substrate
• C. By product
• D. Coenzyme

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

End product

• Allosteric enzymes are the enzymes which can exist in more than one different states.
• The molecules which cause a shift in a steric structure are called modulators.
• Allosteric behavior itself was often observed for regulatory or control enzymes of metabolic pathways and forms the basis for feedback inhibition and activation.
• Such enzymes were called as allosteric by Jacob and Monod.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
