Turn off by regulated destruction of the enzyme the amino acids are recycled and used for other purposes. Turn on by regulated expression of gene transcription or of synthesis of enzyme translation. Enzymes catalyse a reaction by reducing the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. Allosteric activators bind to locations on an enzyme away from the active site, inducing a conformational change that increases the affinity of the enzyme s active sites for its substrates. It is a series of reactions in a closed loop that are fundamental for cellular respiration.
Allosteric regulation is important because it permits a more dynamic and complex control of enzyme activity, while allowing the cell to use almost identical enzymes, thereby conserving its resources.
