During feedback inhibition, which of the following structural part of enzyme is involved?
Correct answer: D. Allosteric site
- A. Active site
- B. Binding site
- C. Catalytic site
- D. Allosteric site
Explanation
Feedback inhibition is usually accomplished through something called an "allosteric site" - a site on an enzyme, that changes the shape of an enzyme, and subsequently, the behavior of the active site.

About Enzyme Inhibitors
Enzyme inhibitors reduce reaction rate by interfering with enzyme-substrate interaction or catalytic activity. Coverage includes reversible competitive, non-competitive and uncompetitive inhibition, the effects of inhibitor concentration on reaction rate, and why competitive inhibition can be reduced by increasing substrate concentration.
