Allosteric regulation of epigenetic modifying enzymes [PDF]
Epigenetic enzymes including histone modifying enzymes are key regulators of gene expression in normal and disease processes. Many drug development strategies to target histone modifying enzymes have focused on ligands that bind to enzyme active sites, but allosteric pockets offer potentially attractive opportunities for therapeutic development. Recent

Allosteric Enzyme-Based Biosensors—Kinetic Behaviours of Immobilised L-Lysine-α-Oxidase from Trichoderma viride: pH Influence and Allosteric Properties [PDF]
The present study describes the kinetics of L-lysine-α-oxidase (LO) from Trichoderma viride immobilised by co-crosslinking onto the surface of a Pt electrode. The resulting amperometric biosensor was able to analyse L-lysine, thus permitting a simple but

Redesigning allosteric activation in an enzyme [PDF]
Enzyme activation by monovalent cations is widely documented in plants and the animal world. In type II enzymes, activation entails two steps: binding of the monovalent cation to its allosteric site and transduction of this event into enhanced catalytic activity.

Allosteric enzymes as biosensors for molecular diagnosis [PDF]
Biosensors are hybrid analytical devices that amplify signals generated from the specific interaction between a receptor and the analyte, through a biochemical mechanism. Biosensors use tissues, whole cells, artificial membranes or cell components like proteins or nucleic acids as receptors, coupled to a physicochemical signal transducer.

Quaternary structure is an essential component that contributes to the sophisticated allosteric regulation mechanism in a key enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
The first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS), adopts a range of distinct allosteric regulation mechanisms in different organisms, related to different quaternary assemblies.

Dissecting the Allosteric Fine-Tuning of Enzyme Catalysis
Fully understanding the mechanism of allosteric regulation in biomolecules requires separating and examining all of the involved factors. In enzyme catalysis, allosteric effector binding shifts the structure and dynamics of the active site, leading to modified energetic (e.g., energy barrier) and dynamical (e.g., diffusion coefficient) factors ...

Coevolution-based prediction of key allosteric residues for protein function regulation
Allostery is fundamental to many biological processes. Due to the distant regulation nature, how allosteric mutations, modifications, and effector binding impact protein function is difficult to forecast.
