Assignment:
Allosterically Regulated
1. Since allosteric proteins change shape, in order to perform other biological functions and bind with cofactors, I would say the primary level of protein structure, answer A.
2.I think the answer is B because of catlysis of of phosphorylation of substrates by transferring a phosphate from ATP. There is no mention of sulfur groups.
3. I would chose a B, because the regulatory site of an enzyme is the binding site for non-competitive inhibitors.
4.Not quite sure
5. According to Michaelis-Menton, Km is the substrate concentration which yields half-maximal velocity, where as Vmax is the maximum velocity. Non-competitive inhibition yields a change in the shape of an enzyme.This reduces the concentration of 'active' enzyme resulting in a decrease in the Vmax. Thus I would chose answer E
