When allosteric effector X binds to enzyme the enzyme stops working. Nevertheless the speed of the reaction can be altered by adjusting the concentration of X. How?

If the amount is less, it will take time for the effector to bind to each site. If it is more, it will take less time for the effort to bind. It is like some little kids trying to find a place to sit on a bus. The more there are of them, the faster the seats will be filled.

When allosteric effector X binds to the enzyme, it induces a conformational change in the enzyme's active site, rendering it unable to catalyze the reaction. However, adjusting the concentration of X can still impact the speed of the reaction because it determines the extent of binding between X and the enzyme. Higher concentrations of X will result in more binding and therefore a greater inhibition of enzyme activity, leading to a slower reaction. Conversely, lower concentrations of X will result in less binding and less inhibition, leading to a faster reaction.

Does the allosteric effect in an enzyme change the enzyme's function?
allosteric effectors have their own specific sites for binding to enzyme. they can bring positiveor negative effect. that depends on the natre of effector.
In an allosteric enzyme the homotropic effect is seen when?
Ahh... A fine question. The answer: When a substrate acts as an effector there are homotropic effects. The substrate binds to the active site and induces allosteric-like effects.
Why is it easier for the fourth oxygen molecule to bind to hemoglobin?
It is not the fourth one specifically that binds easier, O2 is a positive allosteric effector (activator) of Haemoglobin and the binding of O2 facilitates further binding of O2. I'm not sure why this is though.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
Which of these structures does NOT pertain to neurons?
effector
Which type of control agent exerts noncompetitive inhibition?
Protein kinase and Allosteric effector

What does BPG mean in hemoglobin?
BPG in hemoglobin means allosteric effector, that binds to the site that is completely remote from that active site for oxygen. The amount of BPG in red cells determines the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin.

Is the brain an effector in the autonomic nervous system?
The brain is not an effector. An effector refers to the glands and muscles doing activity.
When was Effector - album - created?
Effector - album - was created in 1999.
How does effector relate to reflex arc?
An effector is at the end of a reflex arc as it is the muscle or gland that 'does' the reflex. What the effector does is the outcome of the reflex arc.
What is the effector muscle of a biceps reflex?
The effector muscle is the biceps brachii.
What is the difference between a stimulus impulse receptor and effector?
A Receptor is referring to a sense organ, like a nerve ending. An Effector is referring to a muscle capable of reflecting to a stimulus. By definition, receptor and effector are antonyms.
What is an effector cell?
The effector cell responds to a nerve impulse and can be either a muscle cell or a gland cell.
What is effector?
Effector molecules are small molecules that selectively bind to proteins. These molecules also help regulate biological activity.
