All right, so let's say we have an enzyme that binds to the substrate, and in the process of binding to the substrate, it leads to a greatly reduced rate of catalysis.
00:16
So we have much lower rate of production, right? so the product, the rate of creation of this product has decreased.
00:27
So what does that actually mean? that means we have some kind of inhibitor.
00:30
Now, a couple of the answers we have here is that you see the term allosteric.
00:35
So what does that mean? so let's define that first, because there's really three answers that it could be.
00:41
And really there's only one answer that it could be.
00:44
But let me explain what the allosteric means so you can know why it's not those specific reasons.
00:51
So first things first.
00:55
An allosteric, an alosteric inhibitor or an alosteric activator, or an alosteric activator? works in one way.
01:11
We have the inhibitor or the allosteric compound will bind to a place known as the allosteric site.
01:25
This results in a confirmation change that then allows for the actual substrate to bind, whereas it wouldn't bind previously.
01:43
So this is known as an allosteric activator.
01:46
On the other hand, let's say that this substrate is the normal natural confirmation, right? and then the allosteric inhibitor binds to the allisteric site...
