Multiple conformations in solution of the maize C4-phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase isozyme
The photosynthetic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase isozyme from C4 plants (PEPC-C4) has a complex allosteric regulation, involving positive cooperativity in binding the substrate phosphoenolpyruvate as well as positive and negative allosteric effectors ...

Fumarate analogs act as allosteric inhibitors of the human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme. [PDF]
Human mitochondrial NAD(P)+-dependent malic enzyme (m-NAD(P)-ME) is allosterically activated by the four-carbon trans dicarboxylic acid, fumarate. Previous studies have suggested that the dicarboxylic acid in a trans conformation around the carbon-carbon

The contribution of two isozymes to the pyruvate kinase activity of Vibrio cholerae: One K+-dependent constitutively active and another K+-independent with essential allosteric activation. [PDF]
In a previous phylogenetic study of the family of pyruvate kinase EC (2.7.1.40), a cluster with Glu117 and another with Lys117 were found (numbered according to the rabbit muscle enzyme).

The present study attempted a computer simulation of the metabolism of a model cyanobacteria, Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (PCC 6803) to predict allosteric inhibitions that are likely to occur in photoautotrophic and mixotrophic conditions as well as in a ...

Statistical Mechanics of Allosteric Enzymes [PDF]
The concept of allostery in which macromolecules switch between two different conformations is a central theme in biological processes ranging from gene regulation to cell signaling to enzymology. Allosteric enzymes pervade metabolic processes, yet a simple and unified treatment of the effects of allostery in enzymes has been lacking.

The allosteric control mechanism of bacterial glycogen biosynthesis disclosed by cryoEM
Glycogen and starch are the major carbon and energy reserve polysaccharides in nature, providing living organisms with a survival advantage. The evolution of the enzymatic machinery responsible for the biosynthesis and degradation of such polysaccharides,

ATP-Dependent Allosteric DNA Enzymes [PDF]
Effector-activated ribozymes that respond to small organic molecules have previously been generated by appending binding species (aptamers) to ribozymes. In order to determine if deoxyribozymes can similarly be activated by effector molecules, we have appended an anti-adenosine aptamer to a selected deoxyribozyme ligase.
