shape.
The receptor induces changes in the metabolism and activity of a cell. In the process of signal transduction, ligand binding affects a cascading chemical change through the cell membrane.
Allosteric enzymes have the ability to change their conformational ensemble after binding. This changes their affinity at a different ligand binding site.

allosteric effectors have their own specific sites for binding to enzyme. they can bring positiveor negative effect. that depends on the natre of effector.

The cell has a lipid bilayer with embedded proteins that gives it shape. The cell membrane is rather fluid but also slightly rigid. This allows the cell to change shape but it cannot change shape very much. The membrane can seal itself if pierced by something very thin like a pin.The cell membrane holds it together as it's made of phospholipids.
Allosteric (noncompetitive) inhibition results from a change in the shape of the active site when an inhibitor binds to an allosteric site. When this occurs the substrate cannot bind to its active site due to the fact that the active site has changed shape and the substrate no longer fits. Allosteric activation results when the binding of an activator molecule to an allosteric site causes a change in the active site that makes it capable of binding substrate.
