`H[CH2ì¿. The groups RCH2, R2CH (R * H), and R3C
`(R * H) are primary, secondary and tertiary alkyl

`plest member, propadiene, is known as allene).
`See also cumulenes, dienes.

`allo- (in amino-acid nomenclature)
`Amino acids with two chiral centres were named in
`the past by allotting a name to the first diastereoi-
`somer to be discovered. The second diastereoisomer,
`when found or synthesized, was then assigned the
`sarne name but with the prefix allo-. This method can
`be used only with trivial names but not with semisys-
`tematic or systematic names. It is now recommended
`that allo should be used only for alloisoleucine and
`allothreonine.

`allosteric enzymes
`En4tmes which contain regions to which small, regu-
`latory molecules (cf. ffictor) may bind in addition to
`and separate from substrate binding sites. On binding
`the effector, the catalytic activity of the enzyme to-
`wards the substrate may be enhanced, in which case
