Fig. 3: Noncompetitive Inhibition
with Allosteric Enzymes
When the end product (inhibitor)
of a pathway combines with the allosteric site of the enzyme, this alters the
active site of the enzyme so it can no longer bind to the starting substrate of the
pathway. This blocks production of the end product.
