are ________.
•Allosterism
(Feedback Control)
• Proteolytic Enzymes
and Zymogens
General mechanisms involved in regulation include
• Covalent
Modification
• Isoenzymes
(Isozymes)
refers to changes in affinity for a substrate that is
caused by thebinding of another molecule at a site Allosterism
other than the active site (allosteric site)
Enzymes that have allosteric sites are referred to as
allosteric enzymes

regulator
