Which category of substances is most likely to increase an activators efficiency? Allosteric inhibitor
Added by Elizabeth L.
Step 1
- An activator is a substance that increases the activity of an enzyme or a receptor. - An allosteric inhibitor is a substance that binds to a site other than the active site of an enzyme or receptor, causing a change in the shape of the active site and reducing Show more…

Many of the drugs used in medicine modify the actions of enzymes or other molecules by binding to either the active site of the enzyme or to a site different from the active site. The drugs that bind to the active site of the enzymes tend to have more adverse side effects that the drugs that bind to other sites of the enzyme. This is the reason why researchers are focusing on these types of drugs. You design a drug that binds to a site of an enzyme that is different from the active site of the enzyme. This allows the active site to bind to substrate easier. The drug you designed is ____________. Group of answer choices a pH activation molecule a temperature activation molecule an allosteric inhibitor an allosteric activator

Question 30 Allosteric inhibition of a substances own synthesis pathway is an example of regressive metabolism feedback inhibition thermodynamics competitive inhibition Question 31 A molecule that binds to an enzyme and increases enzyme activity by changing its shape is a(an) coenzyme substrate inducer allosteric activator allosteric inhibitor
Adi S.
A molecule that binds to an enzyme far away from the active site and results in an enhancement (increase) of the enzyme activity is most likely: An agonist An antagonist A competitive inhibitor An allosteric inhibitor An allosteric activator
