Assertion: allosteric enzyme | /r/HasAspect | low affinity
Facets:
value: for the substrate
type: TRANSITIVE-OBJECT
Source sentences:
text: Allosteric enzymes have an initially low affinity for the substrate, but when a single substrate molecule binds, this may break some bonds within the enzyme and thereby change the shape of the protein such that the remaining active sites are able to bind with a higher affinity.
