Allosteric enzyme regulation involves the binding of regulatory molecules to specific sites on the enzyme, called allosteric sites, which are distinct from the active site. These regulatory molecules, known as allosteric effectors, can either activate or inhibit enzyme activity by causing conformational changes in the enzyme structure. Allosteric enzymes typically exhibit a sigmoidal (S-shaped) curve in their Michaelis-Menten plot, which is characteristic of cooperative binding. The binding of an effector to an allosteric site induces a change in the enzyme's quaternary structure, affecting the enzyme's ability to bind
