Some drugs bind to a site other than the active site of an enzyme. This site is known as
Some drugs bind to a site other than the active site of an enzyme. This site is known as
Updated On: Jan 16, 2024
- non-active site
- allosteric site
- competitive site
- therapeutic site
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme, unrelated to its active site, which can bind an effector molecule.

Catalysis
All reactants need to overcome certain energy, better known as activation energy in order to form products. This activation energy is the difference between the energy of the transition state and the reactant species.
Types of Catalysis:
Catalysis of chemical reactions is generally divided into two categories:
- Homogeneous Catalysis: Homogeneous catalysis of chemical reactions is a process where the reactants involved in the reaction and the catalyst are in the same phase. For example hydrolysis of sugar in the presence of sulphuric acid.
- Heterogeneous Catalysis: Heterogeneous catalysis of chemical reactions is a process where the reactants involved in the reaction and the catalyst are in different phases. For example reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen in the presence of finely divided iron to form ammonia.
