Multiple Choice
Which statement best defines an allosteric enzyme in the context of allosteric regulation?
A
An enzyme that catalyzes a reaction only when two different substrates bind simultaneously to the same active site with equal affinity.
B
An enzyme that is active only after irreversible proteolytic cleavage of a zymogen into a mature form.
C
An enzyme whose activity is modulated by an effector binding at a site other than the active site, causing a conformational change that alters catalysis.
D
An enzyme that binds its substrate covalently at the active site as an obligatory step in catalysis.
