The reactants for fermentation are:
1.) Pyruvate
2.) NADH
3.) A proton
The products are a lactate and NAD+.
The process of fermentation results in the reduction of pyruvate to form lactate acid and the oxidation of NADH to form NAD+
Answer:
d. raise the apparent value of the equilibrium constant, L.
Explanation:
Allosteric regulation is a type of regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the protein's active site (i.e., the allosteric site). The equilibrium constant (L) refers to the transition between two forms of an allosteric protein in absence of a ligand. The properties of allosteric enzymes are explained by conformational changes associated with a low-affinity tense (T) state, or a high-affinity relaxed (R) state. Negative allosteric effectors are molecules that bind to the allosteric site on an enzyme in order to decrease its activity, thereby leading the enzyme to a low activity T state and thus increasing the value of the equilibrium constant.
