Regulatory Strategies II: Zymogen activation and Reversible Covalent Modification

The catalytic activity of the proteins is regulated in four principal ways:

  • Allosteric control
  • Multiple forms of enzymes (Isoenzymes)
  • Proteolytic activation (Zymogen activation) (Digestive enzymes and blood clotting factors)
  • Reversible covalent modification (glycogen phosphorylase)
