Q. Decline in the activity of the enzyme Hexokinase by glucose-6-phosphate is caused by
A) Non-competitive
B) Competitive inhibitors
C) Allosteric modulators
D) Denaturation of enzyme
Explanation
An enzyme may have areas that control the confirmation of active sites. They are called Allosteric sites. Such an enzyme is called Allosteric enzyme, e.g., glucokinase, phosphofructokinase. Substance, which bring about changes in Allosteric sites are called modulators.
