Allosteric enzymes differ from other enzymes in that they have a regulatory site (allosteric site) next to their active site.

An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme molecule where small regulatory molecules, called effectors, can bind and cause a conformational change in the enzyme, altering its activity.
