| allosteric activation |
increase in enzyme activity by binding of an effector at an allosteric site that causes at the catalytic site either increased binding affinity of the enzyme for the substrate or increased rate of catalytic turnover.

| allosteric |
A term to describe proteins that have two or more receptor sites, one of which (the active site) binds the principal substrate, whereas the other(s) bind(s) effector molecules that can influence its biological activity.

| allosteric |
Characteristic of some proteins, especially enzymes, in which a compound combines with a site on the protein other than the active site, resulting in a change in confirmation at the active site.

| allosteric site |
A specific receptor site of an enzyme molecule remote from the active site. Molecules bind to the allosteric site and change the shape of the active site, making it either more or less receptive to the substrate.
