Answer:

X is negative heterotropic modulator

Explanation:

In allosteric regulations, modulators are molecules that causes a change in the conformation of an enzyme, hence, resulting a change in enzyme activity. It can lead to a decrease or an increase of the enzyme.  When a molecule decreases the enzyme activity it called a negative modulator, when it increases or activates the enzyme activity, it is called a positive modulator.

A positive or negative modulator can either be homotrophic (substrate acts as modulator) or heterotropic (another ligand acts as modulator).

In the example above, X is negative heterotropic modulator, because the modulator is different from the substrate and it also decreases the enzyme activity.

An extracorporeal liver assist device was surgically implanted into sam. this device is very similar to
musickatia [10]

An extracorporeal liver device is similar to a kidney dialysis because this is the device used for liver dialysis.

Liver dialysis or technically known as Single-Pass Albumin Dialysis is designed to remove protein-bound toxins. It is the simplest form of albumin dialysis which utilizes the rudimentary principles of hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration. The dynamics of this procedure begins with the patient's blood flowing through a standard high-flux dialyzer that is impermeable to albumin. This is then dialyzed against a dialysate with an albumin concentration of 2%-5%, which is discarded after a single pass. It allows the removal of albumin-bound molecules that are minute enough to pass through the porous membrane and as well as water-soluble toxins.
