Carson Mcintyre · Answer 1

All of the above.

Explanation:

Allosteric protein may be defined as the protein that has multiple ligand sites and binds to the site other than the active site. Allosteric protein is involved in the regulation of metabolic pathways of the body.

Allosteric protein does not follow the Michaelis-Menton kinetics. These proteins are multisubunit protein and has the different binding sites for the effector as well as substrate molecule. These proteins are present at the committing steps of the metabolic pathways.

Thus, the correct answer is option (e).
