QUESTION: What is a homotropic effect? What is a heterotropic effect?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

When the binding of a ligand to a receptor site can modify the binding of the other ligand to a different site of the same ligand and vice versa, allosteric interactions can occur. When an enzyme or other protein is regulated by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the protein’s active site, it is known as the allosteric regulation.
