The results indicate that Al1 acts as an allosteric activator since its presence significantly increases kcat, suggesting it enhances enzyme activity. In contrast, Rga1 does not affect kcat, even with increased substrate concentration, indicating it likely acts as an irreversible inhibitor, preventing the enzyme from functioning properly. Thus, the conclusion is that Al1 is an allosteric activator and Rga1 is an irreversible inhibitor."}
