Enzymes with two sites are called

A

apoenzyme

B

allosteric enzyme

C

holoenzyme

D

conjugate enzyme

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Enzymes with two active sites are called allosteric enzymes. One of these sites is the catalytic site for the concerned reaction. Other site may be the site for inhibition of catalysis by enzymes or to activate the enzyme further.
