Answer and Explanation:

In biochemistry, allosteric regulation (or allosteric control) is the control of an enzyme by attaching an effector molecule at a position different to the enzyme's active site. The position to which the effector obliges is known the allosteric site or regulative site. Allosteric positions support effectors to attach to the protein, usually resulting in a conformational transition including protein dynamics.
