Regulatory sites other than active site, present over the enzymes are called:
Correct answer: D. Allosteric sites
- A. Active sites
- B. Binding site
- C. Catalytic groups
- D. Allosteric sites
Explanation
The allosteric site is a site that allows molecules to either activate or inhibit (or turn off) enzyme activity. It's different than the active site on an enzyme . Hence, the allosteric sites work as regulatory sites.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
