Enzyme with multiple binding sites cooperativity

3 Enzyme with multiple binding sites cooperativity 

The tendency of proteins in biological systems to exist in a number of well-defined discrete conformational states sets the study of protein kinetics apart from the general theory of polymer physics, such as presented by Grosberg and Khokhlov [73], A rich theory of biological polymers, including of proteins and their conformational transitions, is presented in Cantor and Schimmel s Biophysical Chemistry [27],

Allosteric enzymes - These enzymes are invariably multisubunit proteins, with multiple active sites. They exhibit cooperativity in substrate binding (homoallostery) and regulation of their activity by other, effector molecules (heteroallostery).
