One of the key features in the evolution of more complex organisms is the emergence of allosteric regulation. Allostery is a process by which a protein’s activity can be modulated by binding an ...

There is growing recognition that the functional outcome of binding of an allosteric regulator to a protein/enzyme is influenced by the presence of other ligands ...

Washington, D.C. – A new study, “Identifying Allosteric Hotspots in Mycobacterium tuberculosis cAMP Receptor Protein” published in Biochemistry, provides key insights into how bacterial cAMP receptor ...

The photosynthetic systems of green plants have developed a dual function of efficient light collection under low light intensity and photoprotection under intense sunshine to prevent the oxidative ...

According to a recently published research paper, an approach has been developed to create artificial allosteric sites (where by binding an effector molecule, activity at the distal active site is ...

A team of biochemists at the University of Washington has developed a means for engineering proteins that can transition between assembly and disassembly via allosteric control. In their paper ...
