Biology & Microbiology

An enzyme catalyzes a substrate into a final product. When the concentration of the final product is high enough, it binds to a regulatory site on the enzyme

This binding at the regulatory site changes the shape of the enzyme, which prevents it from binding the substrate and prevents formation of more final product.
