Rationale for change

There may be more than one allosteric site on an enzyme.

"Having multiple binding sites grants the substrate more locations to bind to an enzyme which increases the effective affinity between both molecules. A typical enzyme will have between one and six substrate binding sites, and binding sites for allosteric regulators can appear with similar multiplicity. However, extreme cases exist such as hemocyanin which can have as many as 48 active sites.46 Interestingly, across different species, the same enzyme may possess different numbers of active or regulatory sites, as well as be affected by other allosteric regulators and competitive inhibitors."
