Question

hexokinase is an enzyme that binds specifically to glucose and converts it into glucose - 6 - phosphate. the activity of hexokinase is suppressed by glucose 6 - phosphate, which binds to hexokinase at a location that is distinct from the active site. this is an example of.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Hexokinase is an enzyme. Glucose - 6 - phosphate binds to hexokinase at a site other than the active site and suppresses its activity. This is the characteristic of allosteric regulation where a molecule binds to a site on the enzyme (allosteric site) different from the active - site and affects the enzyme's activity.

Answer:

allosteric regulation
