   Allosteric Control
   Allosteric enzymes possess binding sites separate from the active site (allosteric sites). Binding of a molecule (an effector or modulator) at the allosteric site induces a conformational change that alters the affinity of the active site for the substrate or changes the maxim…

   v = \frac{V{max}[S]}{Km + [S]}
   $$
   Where $Km$ (the Michaelis constant) is the substrate concentration at which the reaction velocity is half of $V{max}$. $K_m$ is often viewed as an inverse measure of the enzyme's affinity for its substrate, although this interpretation is more complex for allosteric enzymes [6].

   Allosteric Regulation
   Allosteric enzymes possess regulatory sites distinct from the active site. Binding of a molecule (an allosteric effector) to this site causes a conformational change that alters the active site's affinity for the substrate. Positive effectors increase activity, while negative effectors decrease it. This …
