The Less Active Conformational Form of an Allosteric Enzyme Is

Question

The less active conformational form of an allosteric enzyme is called the _____.
A) T-state
B) M-state
C) R-state
D) I-state
E) L-state

Accepted Answer

The T-state (tense state) is the less active conformational form of an allosteric enzyme, typically less favorable for substrate binding compared to the R-state (relaxed state), which is more active.
