Ultrasensitivity in phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycles with little substrate [PDF]
Cellular decision-making is driven by dynamic behaviours, such as the preparations for sunrise enabled by circadian rhythms and the choice of cell fates enabled by positive feedback.

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 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).

Light-regulated allosteric switch enables temporal and subcellular control of enzyme activity
Engineered allosteric regulation of protein activity provides significant advantages for the development of robust and broadly applicable tools. However, the application of allosteric switches in optogenetics has been scarce and suffers from critical ...

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.

Mesophilic and thermophilic enzyme counterparts are often studied to understand how proteins function under harsh conditions. To function well outside of standard temperature ranges, thermophiles often tightly regulate their structural ensemble through ...

Rational engineering of enzyme allosteric regulation through sequence evolution analysis.
Control of enzyme allosteric regulation is required to drive metabolic flux toward desired levels. Although the three-dimensional (3D) structures of many enzyme-ligand complexes are available, it is still difficult to rationally engineer an ...
