Which of the following is NOT a characteristic feature of allosteric enzymes ?

Correct answer: A. Follow Michaelis-Menton Kinetics

  • A. Follow Michaelis-Menton Kinetics
  • B. They are multienzyme complex
  • C. Presence of Modulator site
  • D. Give sigmoid shaped curve

Explanation

Allosteric enzymes generally show cooperative, sigmoid kinetics rather than the hyperbolic Michaelis-Menten curve. They possess regulatory modulator sites, but they are not necessarily multienzyme complexes.
