Practice: L-arginine is capable of binding to and activating N-acetylglutamate synthase. Since L-arginine is neither a substrate nor a product of this enzyme, how would this effector be classified?
Concept #1: Allosteric Effectors
Concept #2: Activators vs. Inhibitors
Practice: L-arginine is capable of binding to and activating N-acetylglutamate synthase. Since L-arginine is neither a substrate nor a product of this enzyme, how would this effector be classified?
Practice: Considering that O2 triggers hemoglobin to switch from its low affinity (T) state to its high affinity (R) state to bind more O2, what kind of allosteric effector is O 2 relative to hemoglobin?
Practice: Which of the following statements about allosteric control of enzymatic activity is false?
