Question

What is allosteic protein?

Answer 1

A protein whose shape is changed when it binds a particular molecule. In the new shape the protein's ability to react to a second molecule is altered. or An allosteric protein is a protein with multiple ligand-binding sites such that ligand binding at one site affects ligand binding at another, this is known as cooperative binding. As we have known, an enzyme can convert itself between active and inactive conformations. or A protein that has underwent a fundamental structural change after reacting in the presence of another molecule. This will alter its ability to react with that particulartype of molecule in the future.
