1. Allosteric enzymes are generally larger in mass than other enzymes.2. Allosteric enzymes are usually under the simultaneous control of several allosteric effectors.3. These simple molecular mechanisms account for the integrative properties of allosteric enzymes . 4. These structurally distinct enzyme forms have been shown to exist in several known allosteric enzymes . 5. Often present are allosteric enzymes capable of sensing and responding to concentrations of regulatory species. 6. Allosteric enzymes tend to have several subunits.7. This denotes the fact that allosteric enzymes change shape, or conformation, on binding of the modulator. 8. "' Allosteric enzymes "'is an oligmer whose biological activity is affected by other substances binding to it. 9. So far, however, the material presented to me has explicitly stated that allosteric enzymes do not exhibit Michaelis-Menten kinetics. 10. PFK1 is an allosteric enzyme and has a structure similar to that of hemoglobin in so far as it is a dimer of a dimer.
